...a splendid concert presented by my old school, St Philomena's, Carshalton, in the superb setting of St John's, Smith Square. All v. impressive...the school's House Flags (didn't have such things in my day) were marched up to the accompaniment of deafening African drums (didn't have those, either). Some fine singing, the "Dance of the Mirlitons" by a flute trio, with and some fun things - a lively rendition of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" in 1920s dress, and a concert band playing the theme tune to "Raiders of the Lost Ark". A great atmosphere, the whole place filled with cheering and applause. Most moving bit was, at the end, the School Hymn sung by a massed choir plus all the pupils lining the galleries, followed by Rutter's "The Lord bless you and keep you..."
Gulp. There's going to be a special Mass in the school grounds in July. Might go...
