This years recap? I think so.
I tend to do this on social media with a lovely collection of photos but this year I suppose to impress the lords of the exam board (Love you UAL really) I’m going to have to go other what I have done musically..
School of Rock!
To kick off my year I had three renditions of my schools take on the ‘School of Rock’ musical. I got to say it went extremely well for the first ever take on a pit band alongside a stage which complimented each other very well.
- We left the sound to Ben…
- My work space each evening shows you who I am…
- Joel’s work space was very loud..
- This is what I’d like to call “The Office”.
- The Cast of ‘School of Rock’!
- The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse.
I enjoyed every evening we performed and I would have loved to do it again if I had the opportunity but I’m a big person now with the burden called college.
Leaving Henry Cort..
- Yearbook message from Ben..
I wouldn’t say I particularly enjoyed this part, bitter sweet really. I know I go on but if Ben wasn’t there for my last two years I would have been a completely different person and a pianist, let that image sink in.
- Me and some absolute loser?
I’d like to thank the select group of teachers and students that tolerated and enjoyed me for who I am also!
- Miss Devonshire, the best cover teacher and you cannot change my mind on that one.
- We are pretty (insert profanity here) cool.
- Ms. Ferrier and I, what can I say I was good at speeches..
- Miss Mapplebeck and I, I’m about fifty percent sure she enjoyed my sarcastic remarks and wit!
- Mrs Wilks and I, Rammstein am I right (she taught me German, and by german I mean told me the meaning behind a lot of Rammstein lyrics).
- Me and Tanya, we just about managed to avoid what Biology threw at us!
- Katie and I, many years of questionable bus journeys.
Prom
Did I enjoy it, no not at all, it was nice to see a couple teachers but after that I wanted to go, luckily I had Jack to keep me company for the entirety of the evening.
- Some Green Party member that found his way in?!
- Look at us, better than everyone did I hear?
- And of course the signature move..
- Skoda Man and I, nothing is as trusty worth and reliable as Skoda but maybe Challen is?
Meadowside 2018
My last performance with the first band I was ever in and the other. It was also Dans last as he is going on to do dog walking which is going well and I wish him Good Luck going into 2019!
Anyway here are the splendid pictures!
- Joel, Dan, Me, Pip and then Harvey on the floor.
- Popping out a fat solo, I don’t think Harvey likes it…
- The Signature Badass Shot.
- Joel, Ben, Me, Pip and Harvey practically becoming the floor as we speak.
- Mosh Pitato, we are original I swear.
- RTP, don’t ask me what it stands for.
- Siblings are the best.
- So Ben thought it would be funny to capture me soloing?
- Our Poker-faces don’t exist.
Results Day
So it decided to rain as soon as I get up the road on my bike. Whilst I was riding to the junction Taz wished me luck and drove off which was very sweet of her!
- Shoddy effort I know.
A full house apart from German, which wasn’t awfully disappointing. Turns out I got the highest in my music class also so that was the best flex, even though the score was low.
Didn’t stay for long as Ben wasn’t in a talkative mood as he was confused to why the majority of our music class failed..
Ghost at the Royal Albert Hall
Ben introduced them to me when he first joined and something about them just clicked, don’t even bother asking if I’m a satanist you losers.
- Nothing like an instrumental.
- Pope knows how to play a sax, hmmm, I can get behind it..
- The best underrated saxophone solo.
- Nothing like a good acoustic shuffle, it is a change to heavy distorted chords I suppose.
- Cardinal likes a good costume change…
I Know You Got Soul Concert
My first performance with Fareham College, and the best performance of the evening there is not much more to it..
Collecting my GCSE Certificates
- It looks like I’m not a massive loser overall.
- Representing the best cover band in the south.
- Me collecting my award, not to be rude but her hand went up my wrist…
My mum had to sort out my brothers food tech prep so she couldn’t make it, but the good part was documented for all to see. I had Jason there with me for support which was great as I was having a rough evening in general, I appreciated him being there a lot!
Now That’s What I Call Fareham Music!
- I’ve been taught by a God named Chris Osman.
- Rhythm section, the best section.
- Who is this swanky young, hip member?!?
- My Bass is bigger than me…
Christmas Time.
- Me and my ‘Red Special’.
The best time of year spent with family and friends. The best gift from the best mum ever!
But anyway I’d like to thank everyone that made my 2018 a blast, and to welcome the new people into my life in 2019. I shall see you all then!
