Preparations

Today was the dress rehearsal for our big production of Joseph. All of the children from Years 5 and 6 are involved, as well as many staff from all over the school.

Look at the array of equipment - sound, light, radio mikes, computer graphics - it's a massive job to get it right!

 
The hall is needed for dinners, so every day (and sometimes twice a day) it needs setting up for performance. No wonder the hall team children are a blur of activity (below)

We have to move all the benches, all the musical equipment, set up the stage, do sound and lighting checks.... it's a real team effort.

The dress rehearsal went very well indeed. This show will be spectacular. Get your tickets from the school office - there are still some left (Tuesday and Wednesday evening at 7 pm)
You don't have to be a parent: in fact we encourage parents from other year groups to bring their families, so they can see what we achieve by the time children leave us!
