Schools Showcase

Colsterworth Festival Schools’ Day is held at the ChristChurch, Finkin Street, Grantham.

The Colsterworth Festival presents a wonderful opportunity for children to perform, to sing, to play instruments before a large audience, Showcasing your school.

Projects already undertaken in School can be used and the Festival gives pupils the chance to perform before a much wider audience – the children enjoy the experience of being on a really big stage and the competitive element.

The adjudicator speaks to the children at the end of each section, with positive comments about what has gone well and how to improve the performance.
Every entry receives a certificate and an adjudicator’s comment sheet – and there are medals and trophies to be won.
You don’t need to specify which songs/pieces you are playing as these can be announced on the day.

At the ChristChurch, there are classes for:

School Choirs
School Orchestras and ensembles
Choral Speaking
Group Acting

Up to 20 performers: £13.00

All our classes comply with the National Curriculum, so pupils are enabled;

to sing and to use their voices, to create music with others
to play and perform in ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression
to participate in the artistic practice of drama and have opportunities to….a range of audiences, so confidence, enjoyment and mastery of language are extended through public speaking and performance
to learn a wider range of poetry by heart
