Making College History
Our Junior and Intermediate Concert Bands have combined to create a very special item for the online Junior Celebration event this year; the VERY FIRST MARCHING BAND performance in Thomas Hassall history! An initiative that began in response to not being allowed to play instruments during Covid restrictions, Mr. Mark and the music tutors taught students the fundamentals of how to march. In a very short time, the band memorised a marching routine in line with a song called ‘Sound Off’ – a military march song originally composed in 1944 for the U.S Army. Be sure to tune in to the Junior Celebration Event next Tuesday evening 8 December at 6pm to catch all the action, plus much more. Well done to all students involved in this excellent performance.
