PREPARATIONS FOR THE ANNUAL HOUSE SONG COMPETITION WELL UNDERWAY!

This Sunday, the Westwood boarders were joined by all the day pupils from the house to spend 2 1/2 hours preparing for Thursday's always hotly contested House Song Competition.
The four houses - Hamilton, Beckford, Posnett and Cusworth - all rehearsed with vigour and enthusiasm, and even, with the exception of at least one of the boys' houses, with tunefulness and control!
We all look forward to seeing the amazing results this Thursday.  In the meantime, some photos to whet the appetite...
Many thanks as always to our great (and VERY patient) prefects for dragging the houses kicking and screaming through the rehearsal, to produce some not half bad songs and dance routines!   

HAMILTON - Reach by S Club 7
 

Getting started - with prefects Katy, Martha and Hannah looking on.

Progress.  Prefect Katy still leading.

BECKFORD - Wanna by The Spice Girls

 

The house waits ... while prefects Ellie, Olivia x2, Rosie, Bella and Hattie discuss the next moves.

 

Anxiously the prefects assess the reults of their rehearsal.
 
POSNETT - Rock DJ by Robbie Williams
 

At first, the boys don't look that enthusiastic ...
 
... but soon find their feet.
 
CUSWORTH - Grease Lightning from the musical Grease
 

 An alternative line-up on stage.  Prefects Owen, Ollie, Matt and George look on.
Ollie should feel at home ... having spent three years in the West End as Billy in Billy Elliott!
 
Ollie prepares the stage for the pupils' 'freestyle' section of their performance!
 
Good luck to all the houses on Thursday ... and watch this space for photos of the actual performance.
