Clarinet Ensemble Performance
Thank you to the Clarinet Ensemble who provided some lovely background music at the Visual Arts exhibition last Wednesday. The four students (pictured below) willingly gave up their time to stay back and ensure the Visual Arts girls had some musical culture to support their amazing art works. Thank you to Mrs Jennie Ford for preparing them so well.
