Pupils lead the entertainment at Mossley Hill Church's 150th Anniversary Gala
On Friday last week, our pupils formed the entertainment at Mossley Hill Church's 150th Anniversary Gala evening. The running order featured Max M (Ch 9) performing a monologue as 'Matthew James Glenton', founder of the church; Seb W (Ch 9) performing the solo side drum part (alongside the organ) of 'Hymn to the Fallen', from Saving Private Ryan; Valentin B (Ch 9) performing a monologue as 'Colonel Ritchie' whose family provided funds for the memorial chapel to be built in 1922 to give thanks for the safe return of their three sons from the First World War; Maria B (Ch 8) performing a hauntingly beautiful rendition of the theme from Schindler's List; Liverpool College Theatre Company performing a piece of drama they had written for the occasion, Echoes Through Time; Jack C (Ch 5) performing a monologue 'Mossley Hill Church and Me' as a young member of the current congregation; with the Chamber choir rounding the evening off with four musical items, concluding with 'Goodnight Sweetheart'.
Our pupils continue to amaze us with their talents and their willingness to perform for a huge variety of events throughout the year, alongside their regular commitments in the classroom. They truly represent the College's motto: Not only the intellect, but also the character.
Sam G (Ch 9) said:
"Working with Liverpool College Theatre Company was a joyous experience. Over many weeks, the company, that a few others and I have taken part in devised a drama piece incorporating the history of Mossley Hill Church. The rehearsals required dedication, teamwork but most of all the talent that it went to live up to - all with embedding a variety of knowledge about the commitment and profound history that the church has demonstrated. From the team and me, we can sure say putting such a special type of history onto the stage felt special!"
Jack C (Ch 5) said:
"I really enjoyed taking part in the 150 year anniversary celebrations of Mossley Hill Church last Friday.
I loved sharing one of three monologues that had been written, that helped share the journey and importance the Church has played in so many children’s lives over those years."
