Evening of Music and Dance

We all went to school for the evening of Music and Dance.
The KGV house system includes students selected as Dance Captains. During the school year there are various contests, but the EOMD is the biggie. Iwas told it could be a good night out, so we all went along.


It was a stunning night. At the bottom of the post I have added a couple of links. If you are short of time, do watch the winning one from Crozier house.
I was so excited by the opening dance (from the Indian dancers) that I had to go for a wee!!

The theme was "Toy box". There was no teacher input to the dances.





Winning dance (keep watching it through, it is worth it... Watch those lads go!)

Playing footie

Sometimes you do things that seem like a good idea at the time.
Earlier this month I hear, "Zoe, you'll play, won't you? We need a few more women for the football. It's the Phil Barnes Memorial. It'll be a laugh."
Phil Barnes was a great guy who taught at KGV and was much loved. Sadly a car accident took him young (in 2005), but he is still much present at the school.
Each year KGV have a Staff vs Sixth Form football game in his memory.

So I sign up.

Last evening the game was played after school. It was great. We were arranged in groups. So I rotated with 2 others in the right back position. It meant I could play for as long as I felt able and leave the field without being shamed.

Staff won eventually. It was 5-5 at full time. We went to penalties. Even I kicked one!
Final score was 20-19!!
