Thought For The Day – Friday 24th November 2023
Outstanding “Oliver!”
“Consider yourself at homeConsider yourself one of the familyWe’ve taken to you so strongIt’s clear we’re going to get along
Consider yourself well inConsider yourself part of the furnitureThere isn’t a lot to spareWho cares? Whatever we’ve got, we share
Consider yourself our mateWe don’t want to have no fussFor, after some consideration, we can stateConsider yourself one of us.”
The final performance of “Oliver!” is this evening.
TBSHS’ “Oliver!” is a truly outstanding production of such brilliant attention to detail, emotional depth and intelligence, energy, joy, pace, positivity, professionalism. thoughtfulness and vastness.
TBSHS’ “Oliver!” features a massive cast, crew and musicians of students from every year group.
With such exceptional drama, music, dance, costumes, casting, lighting, sound, set, stage management and character, TBSHS’ School Hall is transformed into the London of “Oliver Twist” and Charles Dickens.
Every performance, every song, is show-stopping.
Every action, word and piece of music is absolutely perfect.
Every student leads the way.
Students from all years, including students who have just joined us, are outstanding, supporting one another, expertly and excellently guided, led and nurtured by the inspirational and wonderful staff involved.
The final performance and production is the product of so many hours of practice and preparation from staff and students, the hours and hours that no one sees, the sacrifices made over many weeks and months and more. Winter brilliance founded on massive summer and autumn preparation.
There really are no words to describe and do justice to TBSHS’ “Oliver!”. It has to be experienced. It is a very special memory and moment. Congratulations to everyone involved, staff and students.
As regards the plethora of excellent whole school productions in TBSHS’ school hall over the years, this is the very best, epic and fitting finale. “Oliver!” is “The Black and Gold Spirit”.
One of the many iconic, inspirational and moving songs in “Oliver!” is: “Where Is Love?”.
Love is at TBSHS’ “Oliver!”.
