KESounds Spring Term 2018

Welcome to the fifth edition of KESounds. For such a short term, our musicians packed a great deal and enjoyed some experiences which will be with them for life. From singing in St Peter’s in Rome to Services in the City of London, Chapel Choir were on superb form. A visit from the Royal Logistics Core to put our brass through their paces was an exciting afternoon of music-making. Musician of the Year was disrupted by the inclement weather and the final was postponed and replaced by a snowball fight. Then there was West Side Story – a tour de force! Please do look through the ezine and enjoy the diverse events in picture.
