At the end of last month Oathall Community College welcomed students and staff from their Federation Schools – Downlands Community School, Imberhorne School and Sackville School – and Ensemble Reza and Rebetiko Carnival, to join them for Federation Music Day, and it was a resounding success.
The students collaborated to rehearse and perform a range of songs including I’m A Believer and Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds, as well as some Greek Rebetiko songs.
It’s always an inspiring experience when this many musicians get together, and this was no different. I’m very grateful to the staff at our Federation Schools, Ensemble Reza and the Rebetiko Carnival for getting fully behind this project – and of course to the students for their musicianship, dedication and the joyful learning experience they created.
Mrs Mactaggart, Head of Music, Oathall Community College
