Ensembles Festival

On Saturday 9th March, pupils from St Mary's performed in the annual Basingstoke Music and Arts Festival in the ensembles section. Orchestra, String Orchestra, Brass Band and Ukulele Club all performed alongside our friends from St Mark's Primary School. The adjudicator was incredibly complimentary about all four groups. They all came home with awards and first place certificates with commended or distinction. 

Thank you to everyone who supported this event.
