Comenius trip to Mazamet France June 2010
For the past 2 years Ribblesdale School has been involved in a Comenius project with three schools from Germany, France and Spain. The focus of the project has been music and on the 19th of June 8 Ribblesdale pupils represented the School and England in an International Concert in Mazamet. They performed a selection of Enlgish songs and English covers spectacularly and the standing ovation at the end of their set really said it all. Following this all four schools joined together to sing Ode to Joy in German, and Beethoven’s European Hymn in all four languages. During the four days we were there the pupils rehearsed at the Apollo theatre, sung unaccompanied for the Mayor in the Town Hall and spent time in the company of the other schools. Overall the trip was a massive success and the pupils were a credit to themselves, their Parents and Ribblesdale.
In June next year the final concert will take place when all countries will meet in Clitheroe and perform together at the Grand.
