Music Awards Dinner

What a splendid occasion, so creatively decorated by our Subject Music Grade 8s and Ms Gordon’s endless enthusiasm, with a splendiferous meal created by the RGHS Bon Appetit catering club under the expert supervision of Mesdames Marshall, with the table arrangements so imaginatively designed by Mrs Mallon, a stunning flower arrangement from Mrs Pead, the mammoth administrative task dealt with so expertly by Mrs Hoffmann, and the Hall arrangements managed superbly by Mr Nicholas and his team.

Our guest speaker, choreographer, dancer, singer Duane Alexander was to die for, giving important advice to all who wish to go into the performing business `hard work, dedication and PASSION.’ Congratulations to our award winners. We include the full list of awards, and the names of the new and past Heads and Deputies of the various ensembles and choirs:
