St. Matthew's Day

[Eruresto]

Firstly, aaagh it's my last St. Matthew's Day

On another note, is anyone coming up? Any faces to look for as I go along (2nd/3rd rank, left-hand file, 2nd House after band)?

when is it?

[Eruresto]

This Friday!

[blondie95]

oh if i had thought about it sooner then i would have done but i have no spare annual leave now to let me take the day off. Although had i been in our london office im 5mins down the road so easily could have come and seen.

Who goes now and where is the service?

Josh, sadly we can't come and watch but do you know if they take photos every year?

I was going to post and ask if anyone was going and would they take photos if there weren't some official ones as we have a special interest in the whole thing this year

[Alice Goble]

Yes they do and all the official photos are on the school site at: http://www.christs-hospital.org.uk/photos/ you can also order them from the photographer. They do take a while to upload the new photos onto the site though.
I'll be there on Friday so I'll take lots of photos and I will try to put them up here.

what particularly do you want photos of? I shall be taking some pics and will happily email to you if you let me know.

Also, does anyone know whether the reception this year is back at guildhall - hope it is, this will be our last time as parents - I will have been all 11 times - first two at St paul's with full school, and once when the heavens openend and everyone got very wet!

Thanks very much for your replies

I would particularly like a couple of photos of the drum majors - this is my son's time out with the Band on St Matthew's Day - wish we could be there! He's a Dep so will be in the second line of DMs I would imagine (they all seem to have shortish dark hair so I'm not sure how to give you a better description)!

My daughter is also there with the choir for the first time this year - do they march as well?

Thank you so much.

yes, they will all be marching - nowhere else to go! pm me so I can send photos

The last few years they have done it, its only been Deps, Grecians, Choir and Band that go, everyone else stays for a half day at school.
What was your sons name? I was in the band last year, so I will probably be able to work out who he is and get pics etc...

Guildhall - due there about 12.30

[Alice Goble]

I have a few of photos with one of the drum majors who I think could be your son (sorry if I've got the wrong boy!) I'll post them up tomorrow.

The whole event was real joy.The DMs were particularly fine I thought and certainly wowed the crowd! The service was beautiful -dignified and meaningful but also full of warmth and happiness.

I have put up some of my photos in the photo section of the site. The right sides of the photos are cut off though.
