There is a palpable sense of excitement at Perrott Hill and in the Music Department in particular. The choir, under their Director of Music, Trevor Barr, is preparing for a trip to Rome.

A choir of 30 voices with over 70 supporters will fly from Heathrow on Sunday 14th October with the climax of the trip being singing for the Mass at St Peter's Basilica on Wednesday 17th October.

Trevor Barr, who has had previous experience in taking choirs to St Peter's said, 'It will be an amazing time for the boys and girls in the choir. It is the kind of experience that makes all those hours of rehearsal worthwhile and one that our pupils will relate to their children in years to come'.

The children will have the opportunity to go to the top of the dome in St Peter's to enjoy its fantastic views down into the Basilica and across the city; they will also visit the Castle of the Angels and the world famous Vatican Museum. Other highlights of their trip will be a visit to the Coliseum where their tour guide will be Perrott Hill's Head of Latin, Mr Oliver Patrick.

Rob Morse, Headmaster at Perrott Hill is also joining the trip and is delighted to be able to offer the children this opportunity. 'It will be an amazing experience and the trip is testimony to the enthusiasm, drive and passion for music at Perrott Hill. My congratulations and best wishes go to Trevor Barr and all the pupils. '

The children of course are most excited and are literally pinching themselves to ensure that they are not dreaming. They are, however, experienced performers having already taken part in the Orchestra in a Field at Glastonbury earlier this summer.

'We wish the choir from Perrott Hill well with their trip to Rome and look forward to hearing of their success.'
