Embracing Tradition at the Annual Carol Service
The Carol Service was a wonderful way to end the term and once again, our choirs ETS (Eric Thiman Singers) and Chamber Choir gave stunning performances of anthems, both old and new. The processional carol, in traditional form, featured First Year Elliott W singing the solo verse of Once in Royal David’s City. This year, the service was attended by the Second Years who contributed to the service with their Anthem Masters In This Hall, a rousing and powerful piece. Uplifting descants and triumphant organ accompaniment from Mr Hall made this service a wonderful start to the Christmas holidays. The heart of the evening was undeniably the stellar choral performances and congratulations must go to all choir members for their commitment, particularly at the very end of such a busy term. Each piece was a testament to the dedication and talent of the singers, who navigated the intricate harmonies with precision and feeling. The service of nine lessons and carols was well attended by the whole school community; parents, staff and friends of both the Prep and Senior School. The atmosphere exuded warmth and joy.
