Talented musicians from all five our secondary schools gathered together to form a combined band and choir as part of the Music for Stage and Screen Concert which was staged at The Core Theatre, Corby on July 15^th.

They performed classic songs such as Puttin On the Ritz and I’ve Got Rhythm as well as some more recent songs from Disney shows and popular culture.  There were also solo performances from four students and professional cornet player Ben Godfrey was the Guest Soloist.

The event was coordinated by Clive Wears, Music Director from Corby Business Academy, along with music staff from the other Trust schools.

CEO Andrew Campbell said: “At a time when the curriculum offer in many secondary schools is under so much pressure, events like this provide a strong reminder of the vital place for the arts in education. A place that must be protected and nurtured, both for the good of the spirit and as a powerful force for community.”
