Musical Celebration at 1st Year Gala Concert

The musical talents of our 1st Year pupils were on full display at their 1st Year Gala Concert, held on Thursday, 5 June at Truro Methodist Church.

The evening featured a varied and entertaining programme, showcasing the progress made during pupils’ first year of instrumental tuition at Truro School. From spirited folk tunes to classic pop hits, each ensemble brought energy and enthusiasm to the stage.

Highlights included the Boys Choir’s uplifting rendition of ‘500 Miles’ by The Proclaimers, the Girls Choir’s moving performance of Elton John’s ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight?’, and a bold take on David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ from Ensemble 1. The audience also enjoyed toe-tapping pieces from the clarinet, flute, trumpet, trombone, cello and violin groups, many of which had been expertly coached by the school’s talented music staff.

Pupils are given the opportunity throughout the year to try out instruments and perform together in groups. Truro School extends thanks to all the staff and visiting music teachers who helped bring the event to life.

Families interested in continuing instrumental lessons or joining co-curricular ensembles are encouraged to contact the Music Department for more information.

Next on the musical calendar is the 1st Year House Singing Competition on Thursday 26 June at 4.15pm in the Chapel, followed by the Truro School Family Day on Saturday 28 June.
