🎭 Collaboration with Dyce Academy Youth Theatre

On Wednesday evening, we were thrilled to collaborate with Dyce Academy Youth Theatre in their end-of-year showcase.

ACMS solo singers presented musical theatre repertoire, our vocal group joined forces with the Youth Theatre and Dyce choir for a Go the Distance/Defying Gravity medley, and the full cast, including instrumentalists, performed a showstopping finale of Sunshine on Leith.

It was a joyful and memorable evening: a brilliant example of collaboration, creativity, and new friendships being formed.

We’ve now invited the Youth Theatre and Dyce Academy Choir to join us again next Wednesday at King’s Church to perform these pieces as part of our Summer Prom. We’re looking forward to it!

📚 Library Books – Final Call

A message from Mrs Smith:

Thank you to everyone who has returned their library books and sheet music. If you have any items you’re not planning to use over the summer, please return them to the library by the end of this week.

🎶 Summer Schools - Still Time to Apply

In recent assemblies, we’ve been talking about the fantastic opportunities offered by musical summer schools.

They’re a great way to work with new tutors and professional musicians, make friends who share your passion for music, explore new cities, and perform to different audiences. Many still have places available for both young people and adults – if you have a free week over the holidays, we’d highly recommend it!
