Last term, we were lucky to have Author, Poet, and Rapper; BREIS visit us and run three writing workshops with invited year 9 pupils. He also performed at our year 9 assembly. The boys worked well in the sessions and Omari, Hezekiah and Luc performed their work in assembly. Well done boys. Excellent!
The music department has been so busy recently. In addition to holding the brilliant Battle of the Bands concert, they have also put on a Drumming Workshop, Groove Band held a concert in a local church and led a trip to the Bob Marley exhibition…..
Bob Marley Expo
A group of music students who play in our school bands had a really enjoyable and interesting morning at the Bob Marley One Love Experience Exhibition at the Saachi Gallery in Chelsea on Wednesday, 30 March. The exhibition had photographs, artwork and memorabilia on display but was also very much an interactive exhibition with a multi-sensory experience in the One Love Forest and live listening in the Soul Shakedown studio. Bob Marley’s passion for football was very much in evidence and the table football machines were certainly very popular with the boys!
The Battle of the Bands finally returned to the EGS stage on Friday, 25th March – the last Battle being fought in March 2019!
All our school bands performed brilliantly during the evening together with two student-led bands.
Awards were made for the best guitarist, drummer, bass player, singer and for featured instruments and the final winner was The Apprentice Band, who received the silver trophy at the end of the evening.
A huge thank you to Hannah Stratton who was our judge for this event, to our tutors who led the bands – Mr Tate-Lovery, Mr Escott and Mr Waters – to all our parents for supporting the bands so enthusiastically and, of course, to all the students who took part. You made us very proud.
The next music event is the Jazz and Acoustic evening on Friday, 6th May
Our PE department and our EGS Football Teams end the term on a sporting high:
A fine win for the senior football team, beating The Latymer School yesterday 3-1, to become Borough Champions!
