On the evening of Wednesday 4th July, the Sports Hall was transformed into a spectacular concert hall for this year’s Summer Concert. It really was an extraordinary evening of music making, made even more poignant as it was Mrs Phillips’ final concert in Howell’s before she retires at the end of this term. There were sensational performances from soloists, ensembles, choirs and orchestras and it was a very fitting way to say goodbye to this truly inspirational teacher. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when, much to Mrs Phillips’ surprise, over 60 alumni she had taught during her 27 years at Howell’s made their way to the stage and joined in the final number, Music Was My First Love. Thank you for the music, Mrs Phillips!
