As Choral Captains, we represent the choirs and singers of Tintern. We are both passionate singers, who want to inspire others who feel the same way. As a part of our responsibilities, we perform various roles within the Music department. These include email reminders for Choir, the day prior, as well as sometimes running vocal warmups. Often at assemblies and other events we are required to lead songs such as the School anthem, hymns, or the National anthem.
Recently we got the opportunity to sing at St Paul’s Cathedral for the Cathedral Service. While we had previously sung there with the Choir, we found singing there alone to be an incredibly special experience, hearing our voices resonate throughout the Cathedral. We also had the opportunity to host the first ‘Battle of the Bands’ Tintern has had in four years, which was such a fun experience for the both of us to entertain the School.
We have both always looked up to the Choral Captains that have come before us, their passion for the Choir and all the people in it has inspired us to follow in their footsteps. It brings us immense joy to assist the Music department that has given us so many opportunities over the years.
As we approach the second half of 2023, there are still multiple music activities that we, along with the other Music Captains, get to assist with hosting and organising. In early Term 3, we will be hosting our second Music Camp of the year, preparing for the Annual Music Concert coming up soon after. Other music events include our House Singing competition, Jazz Night and small concerts throughout the term. As we enter the second half of the year and responsibilities in our role, we are excited to show the School the exciting pieces that we are working on.
