The Chailey and Plumpton Concert

Imogen Smith, 8 Ash, writes:

As some of you will know, there was a concert on Friday 12^th June, at Chailey St Peter’s Church. This is an event that has now been running for three years in a row and has gone down a MASSIVE success! The concert is basically to join Chailey and Plumpton and to let the local citizens listen to the wonderful performances.

Before the concert, auditions were held at Chailey School to find the best of the best, run by Mr Sandford who made an excellent choice! There were lots of different acts being performed, from the song ‘Naughty’ from Matilda the Musical; to the ukulele and piano and the song ‘December 1963’. Everyone really enjoyed it and so many different talents were shown that night.

Some people might know that Mrs Young works both at Chailey School and Plumpton School, so that is another reason for doing this. But Mr. Sandford also played a big role in organising this concert as he works at Plumpton too. The two choirs at both Chailey and Plumpton sang very nice songs, including ‘Price Tag’ and ‘Lean on Me’, which was also a great hit! So for the finale, they joined together to sing a wonderful version of the song ‘Happy’, which finished off the concert perfectly.

So a big thank-you to Mrs Barringer too, who is Leader of Music at Chailey School and played the piano. And a big thank-you to Mr Sandford for doing a great job organising it. Of course, well done to everyone who performed.  It was a brilliant evening and we hope that it will carry on next year.
