Longfleet School Orchestra

Longfleet Orchestra began in 2016 and since then hundreds of children have taken part. The pictures below will give you a flavour of some of the wonderful experiences we have had!

Rising Up October 2024

We have learnt two fun pieces at Orchestra so far this term: Rising Up & Traffic Jam. We will keep them up our sleeve to play at some concerts in 2025 as we will be moving onto Christmas repertoire after the half term break. The first orchestra performance of the year will be at the Christmas Services at St Mary's Longfleet.
Currently we have about 45 pupils in the orchestra and about 15 ex pupils who come back to help every week. Our one rule at orchestra is to be respectful of each other, our secondary mentors, the school staff and all of our school resources. This means that we can enjoy using our time to learn new pieces and become better musicians. There are ample opportunities to display the other school values at orchestra too, as well as time for the occasional game when we have time!
We are looking forward to some new members joining us after the half term break.

Junior Massed Orchestra at the SoundStorm Showcase 2024

On 4 July 2024 at Lighthouse Poole, SoundStorm put on our most ambitious concert for two years, featuring over 450 children from 19 schools and over 30 professional musicians, showcasing 10 contrasting creative and musical projects, demonstrating the breadth of the work of the BCP Council Music Hub. 30 of our Longfleet Orchestra members were part of the Junior Massed Orchestra and performed a 'A Children's Symphony' which was composed by Miss Wright.

On Friday 21st May 2021 the Longfleet School Orchestra gave their first performance since March 2020! Following more than a year of social distancing, cancelled rehearsals and then year group rehearsals we are finally able to play all together again. It was lovely to be able to invite a small group of teachers to come and listen to us play and we hope you enjoy watching these recordings. Below the recordings you can see pictures of all our orchestra members. We are very proud of all of them for their aspiration, resilience, hard work and talent.
