Farewell Dippy Celebrations - 4th May 2018
Friday 4th May saw students from across the DASP schools involved in the farewell celebrations for Dippy the Dinosaur.
Over 250 children from years 1-6 (plus their parents) met at Brewery Square where they were provided with Dippy T-shirts and flags. They then performed the Dippy the Dinosaur song (written by Mrs Trevorrow for Skylarks choir to perform at Dippy’s opening event back in February). After the song, a samba band made up of parents and students, led a procession from Brewery Square, down South Street, to the Dorset County Museum. At the museum, the children performed the song again and there were speeches by the Director of the Museum and The Mayor of Dorchester. Everyone was treated to lovely drinks and nibbles before going home. The whole event was a lovely send-off for Dippy and encapsulated the spirit of community.

DASP Year 4 Concerts - 7th and 8th March 2018
This March, the annual DASP Year 4 concerts took place once again at the St Osmund's sports hall. Mrs Trevorrow visited all of the schools during January and February to deliver vocal workshops to all of the children in year 4 throughout the whole DASP pyramid. This year, the them of the concert was Peace and Unity. The children learnt five songs, each learning a different part, so that when they were finally put together, they were able to perform in three-part harmony! The songs that they performed altogether were: a medley of War Songs, Dona Nobis Pacem, 'One Voice' by the Wailing Jennies, 'Let it Be' by The Beatles and Ed Sheeran's 'What do I know'. In addition, each school prepared their own song to perform. The concerts were a huge success with packed out audiences on both evenings. Through generous donations, nearly £800 was raised which will be put towards the year 4 concert next year. Photos and video of the concert can be found on our gallery and audio/video page. Well done to all involved!

DASP with Dippy on Tour - February 2018
At the start of February half term, DASP Youth Orchestra and Skylarks choir had a fantastic time, performing at the opening celebrations for Dippy on Tour at the Dorset County Museum.
The Friday night saw the orchestra perform at the formal opening of Dippy on Tour. This was a highly prestigious event, and the orchestra were delighted to have been involved. They performed 'Jurassic Park' and 'Largo from New World Symphony' as background music, whilst the VIP guests viewed Dippy and enjoyed champagne and canapés. In addition to the orchestra, James Osborne-Jackson, Sam Lawson, Joe Lyndley and Zach Stevens all performed solos/duets. The orchestra then performed 'The Fossils' as a special show-cased performance straight after Dippy was formally opened by the special guests. It was all very exciting, especially when we found out that we were to appear on the national BBC 6 o'clock news!!!! (the video of which can be found here). The students all performed brilliantly and showed exemplary behaviour throughout. Huge thank you to Mrs Wolff and to all the other adult helpers who helped to make the performance possible. The Saturday night, saw DASP Music return to Dippy for a special performance by Skylarks Choir. This event was a family-friendly VIP event for local people. The choir were able to have exclusive access to Dippy and take part in various Dippy-themed activities. They performed a special Dippy song that had been written by Mrs Trevorrow, especially for the event. It is hoped that many other schools will learn the song over the coming months as they prepare for their own Dippy visits. Again, the choir performed with great enthusiasm and there were many positive comments from everyone who was there. Special thanks to Kathie Prince for rehearsing and enthusing the choir! |

DASP Student in BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition
Congratulations to Hannah McFarlane who last term, reached the final 25 string players, in the national BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition. We were delighted this term to award Hannah a grant, given by the Solo Trust, to assist her to pursue her career as a professional musician.
Hannah had this to say about the Young Musician of the Year experience: “When I entered BBC Young Musician 2018 last summer my ambition was to get into the second round of the competition, the category auditions. The first round – the Regional auditions - was held in the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff. Following this I had a very nervous week waiting for the result and sat glued to the computer for a day in half term awaiting the email. Fortunately I was selected - I was thrilled to be one of the final 25 string players. I returned to Cardiff at the end of November and played my heart out – the judges have to keep “a neutral exterior” so you have no idea what they are thinking! As I came out of the audition I was interviewed by the BBC which was great fun – I cannot remember what I said! The many hours of practice and rehearsals with my accompanists had paid off, not to mention all the lessons in New Milton with my teacher, Lionel Handy. Sadly I didn’t get to the televised round but to have got as far as the last 25 string players was amazing. One of the adjudicators described my performance as “really impressive playing …… conviction in spadefuls”. My accompanists were Howard Evans (first round) and Heather Reed (second round). Not only do they have to accompany my pieces but they have to keep me calm and relaxed in the warm-up session – they did a grand job especially when my cello strings had gone haywire just before the second audition. Was the whole experience fun? Yes, fantastic…………plus the meal at Zizzi’s overlooking Cardiff bay! Will I enter BBC Young Musician 2020? DEFINITELY!! I now have some exciting ventures coming up; the first of these is in March when I am the curtain-raiser for a concert to be given at the Corn Exchange in Dorchester by the BBC Young Musician of 2014. I am so grateful to the Solo Trust for this very generous and totally unexpected award. It is a great privilege to receive it and will help enormously towards my future cello studies.” |

11th November saw the annual ICSO/THS Singers concert take place in St Mary's church. This year, 30 middle school singers joined the main choir to sing the children's-choir part in Rutter's Mass for the Children. In addition, the THS Singers performed Finzi's Low the Full Final Sacrifice. ICSO performed selections from Bizet's Carmen, for which they were joined by several THS instrumentalists and then ended the concert with the rousing overture from Wagner's Die Meistersinger.

The concert was extra special as it was the farewell concert for ICSO's conductor, Richard Dickins, who has been visiting Dorchester with the orchestra for about 20 years. It is a very special partnership and we very much hope that it is something that can continue in some form into the future.

Come and Try Concert - May 2016On 12th May, DASP Music held a Children’s Concert and Come and Try session at The Thomas Hardye School. The concert featured all of the orchestral instruments that are available to learn in the DASP schools and was an opportunity to find out more and hear the instruments played by professionals, both in a solo and group context. Afterwards, the children were given the opportunity to ‘have a go’ on all of the instruments. The hope is that in running these events, we inspire the next generation to learn an instrument and help parents with the difficult decision of which instrument to choose. We hope to run a similar event next year. Thanks to all the peripatetic staff and THS students who were involved.

On March 5th, Stringendos had the opportunity to play with Dorset Chamber Orchestra at their annual Concert for Youth. They joined DChO to play a piece arranged especially for them called “Water Birds”, composed by Liz Sharma. They were able to feel what it is like to be part of a full symphony orchestra at rehearsal and in concert. Elise Griffin, year 5 student at St Osmund's, was a guest soloist with the orchestra, playing the Violin Concerto in a minor op.6 no3 by Vivaldi. Stringendos also joined DChO in the final item, playing “Carillon” from the Suite l’Arlesienne by Bizet. It was a fantastic experience for all involved and we look forward to further collaborations with DChO in the future. Thanks to Mrs Bultz and Mr Brewster for all of their input.

A review of the Thomas Hardye Singers and ICSO concert from the Dorset Echo website can be found here.
Richard Dickins (conductor of ICSO) said this about the concert: "Thanks you for your wonderful singing at the weekend: it was such a privilege for ICSO to join you for the rehearsals and concert. The Rutter was incredibly moving - beautifully sung and most musically shaped - the Bernstein fizzed with energy and the Polovtsian Dances simply took off!! Thanks you all for this remarkable collaboration between the town of Dorchester and Imperial College London: it means a lot to us in London and I hope that it does to you also." We are very grateful to Peter Oakes, Richard Dickins and ICSO for giving the students of Dorchester the opportunity to take part in an event such as this. |
THS Students go 'on tour'On Weds 8th July, DASP Music helped to facilitate a group of THS students to go 'on tour' around all three middle schools. The tour was made possible with funding from the Dorset Music Education Hub's Singing Strategy and featured various different vocal groups from THS including Harmony, 'busking group', BOSS (Boys Only Smooth Singers) and the THS Big Band with featured vocal soloists. The hope was to inspire the next generation of THS students to get involved in singing when they reach upper school and to especially encourage more boys to participate. The middle schools thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we hope to continue with this sort of link between the middle and upper schools in the future.

DASP Instrumental Roadshow is underway!The DASP Instrumental Roadshow has been busy visiting 14 DASP schools over the past term, to demonstrate a variety of instruments to the children and to give them the opportunity to experience some excellent live music in the hope that in might encourage more children to take up a musical instrument.
The roadshow is more than a demonstration of instruments. It takes the children on a journey through time and space, to collect the items on the wicked witch's list in order to break the spell and complete the final performance! Throughout the show, the children listen to many different instruments (violin, viola, cello, trumpet, euphonium, recorders, flute, clarinet, piano and accordion!) and learn about many different musical styles from baroque to folk to tango, whilst taking part in a good amount of audience participation on the way. To see highlights of this year's roadshow, click here. This project has been a huge success this year, and we are hopeful that if we can find the funding, we can recreate something similar next year. |

They then performed a selection of pieces that they had been working on during the term. MSO kindly invited some of the Manor Park beginner string players to join them in a performance of In the Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg. This was the first time that these string players had played with an orchestra and was a great opportunity for them. The mini concert was followed by a party tea for all.
