Yet again this year we have had the pleasure of witnessing some impressive musical talent. Earlier in the year, Duncan Butler (Hunters Hill) took to the stage at assembly in front of the whole school and as our second Year 7 boy to do this in one term, he certainly did us all proud.

I was just reviewing the video and a couple of things stuck in my mind. First and foremost was the amazing performance itself – it really was first class. The second thing that struck me was hearing that Duncan has been playing the flute for just three years. I’m sure that you’ll agree when you see the performance that this is quite incredible. It is certainly evidence of the effort and application that Duncan shows towards his music.

This video comes with a confession and apology … this is a performance I have been planning to put up on the blog for a whole term but haven’t been able to. So not only my congratulations to Duncan but also my apologies for taking so long to put this one up. Having said that … good things come to those who wait and I am confident that as you bop along to this jazz piece you will agree it was worth the wait. Enjoy!
