David Fullerton was this year’s adjudicator, Mrs McIlvenny as Head of Drama set the scene and the performance of 100 boys, ranging from Yearr 8-14, across all 8 Houses, was a gratifying spectacle. Inevitably, the quality of the pieces varied; however, overall this was the most polished, rehearsed, engaging House Drama competition Mr Piggot has witnessed.

The whole evening was a credit to Housemasters, their directing Tutors and, especially, the boys. Miss Marshall, Miss Davidson and Mrs Crozier notably assisted their Houses.
