THE COLLEGE<br />

DRAMA<br />

&MUSIC<br />

Drama is a thriving and exciting part of life at Churcher’s. In<br />

the years between the biennial musical production, a senior<br />

play is produced. Recent plays have included: A Christmas<br />

Carol, The Crucible and Twelfth Night and we have staged<br />

musical productions of Footloose and Guys and Dolls.<br />

Students enjoy the opportunity to become involved with<br />

productions from a performance, back-stage or technical<br />

perspective. We have a professionally managed technical<br />

team and a thriving props and costume department. <strong>Sixth</strong><br />

formers also help with the overseeing of large productions<br />

and are able to work as assistant directors on junior shows.<br />

<strong>Sixth</strong> <strong>Form</strong> musicians are encouraged to take an active role<br />

in the musical life of the college. There are a wide range of<br />

opportunities offered, intended to cater for all musical tastes<br />

and abilities. <strong>Sixth</strong> <strong>Form</strong>ers frequently establish and run<br />

chamber groups and are given positions of leadership and<br />

responsibility in the main college ensembles and in concerts.<br />

Every two years a large-scale musical production takes place,<br />

in conjunction with the drama department. Musicians can be<br />

involved on-stage or in the band. Recent productions have<br />

been: We Will Rock You, High School Musical, Guys and<br />

Dolls, Footloose and Beauty and the Beast.<br />

Other performing opportunities include concerts at local<br />

venues, termly recitals, lunchtime concerts, a house music<br />

competition, Christmas carol services, and an annual Grand<br />

Summer Concert. Regular orchestra and choir tours take<br />

place, with the most recent being a choir tour to Paris and<br />

an orchestra tour to Lake Garda. Individual music tuition is<br />

offered on most instruments and voice. <strong>Sixth</strong> <strong>Form</strong> musicians<br />

are scheduled their lessons during private study periods, or<br />

outside the school daily timetable. Coaching is available for<br />

bands.<br />
