On Wednesday 29 March 2023, nine students from Springfield School took part in the Portsmouth Music Hub event, Soundsational, at Portsmouth Guildhall. The event was a celebration of music in the Portsmouth area and was attended by a number of local schools. The pupils adapted three songs from our recent school production of Matilda to suit the smaller cast and the much larger stage. All the pupils performed the songs with confidence including the large choral numbers at the end of the show where all the schools came together to showcase their singing talent. We are very proud of how the pupils represented our school - Mrs Needham

"I had a really fun time performing with my friends and would love to do it again. It was nice to be able to get back into the costume and sing again. I hope that I can do it again, maybe in an even bigger event." Aaliyah Miah (8R)

"Soundsational was so fun I really enjoyed getting to watch the other incredible performances as well as getting to perform some of the Matilda songs again" - Olivia Cobb (8P)

"Soundsational was a very fun experience because we went to perform a selection of our Matilda songs to an audience for the very last time. I also enjoyed watching the different variety of performances from each school and band." Thomas McCaffray (7D)

"I really enjoyed the Soundsational experience. Being able to sing my solo song was such a good opportunity for me and really helped me with my confidence." Beatrice Wright (8G)

"Soundsational was such an amazing experience. The whole day was so much fun and we got to see all the other schools perform. When it was our turn we cheered each other on from the wings . All the teachers and staff who took part were really supportive and it was a really fun day." Edie Davis (8R)

"Being a part of Soundsational was absolutely incredible! It was so surreal to be on stage with everyone. there wasn't a bit of it i didn't enjoy. I can't wait to be apart of it again." - Amelia Gofton (9E)
