HPS RECORDER 2026 – MAY SOIRÉE
Heartiest congratulations are due to all who participated in the HPS Recorder mid-year concert, the May Soirée, on Wednesday 27 May. Students gave of their very best, performing varied items in an enjoyable program to a friendly and respectful audience.
Performance forms a vital part of learning a musical instrument and it was inspiring to see students play with such complete focus, which made for an impressive degree of accuracy and lovely tone.
Thank you to all who made the May Soirée possible – the students who so carefully prepared as well as their families and the HPS community who support them. We appreciate the great goodwill every day of the HPS Staff and would especially like to mention the extra efforts of the Grade 2 Team, who prepared audience seating, librarians Denise and Jane, and all who joined Naomi in setting out chairs. Thank you, too, to everyone for helping to pack up afterwards.
After such a successful concert, I can hardly wait to hear students play in next week’s lessons!
