Always nice to get one over on Jo Westlake! Last year she turned 40 and I surprised her with over 70 children playing Happy Birthday on the top terrace. This year, I decided to be slightly less over the top, but still wanted to catch her out! So, having enlisted the help of the Headmaster - he had to delay her slightly before Concert Band - and the children, it was all systems go! The children were amazing as ever....no one spilt the beans and they all secreted their music away surreptitiously...until Jo walked into concert band and was greeted with an excellent performance of Happy Birthday, along with chocolate cake: mercifully enough for all of the band! I am already planning next year's....!!
