Our venue for tonight's concert was the beautiful church of Sint-Pietersabdijkirk. The choir and orchestra performed a selection of songs that showcased their range and talent. Thanks go to the concert's three conductors Jayne Thompson, Tom Evans and David Hornberger. A special mention goes to Clare Routledge as this was her last performance before leaving MTGS for university. The concert was the perfect conclusion to a successful tour of Paris and Belgium.

Montmartre
Today the girls got to visit the beautiful Sacre Coeur basilica which stands at the top of a hill in Montmartre. They then had chance to soak up some of Paris's culture by visiting the artisan square where a variety of talented local artists and musicians were on offer.
Unfortunately, our outdoor concert this afternoon was cancelled due to poor weather conditions. Back at the hotel the choir rehearsed their selected songs for their prestigious performance at Notre-Dame cathedral tomorrow morning. Staff and students are now looking forward to performing in such a fantastic venue, as well as the two concerts in Belgium tomorrow
This evening, Mr Hornberger and Miss Carr gave a spontaneous performance in the courtyard, demonstrating their wonderful talent on the cello and piano.

Our second concert
Disneyland Paris
Today, students and staff enjoyed a sun soaked trip to Disneyland Paris. Emma and Lauren met Alice and the Mad Hatter from Wonderland and many other famous faces were spotted throughout the day, including Snow White and Winnie the Pooh! They all made the most of the weather and went on a huge variety of the available theme park rides, but still found the time to buy some souvenirs. Many of the girls, Miss Burns and Miss Ladbrook got into the Disney spirit by wearing an assortment of Mickey Mouse style ears!
