For the interest of Members, events for the coming months are listed below.
Join the SHSB Charitable Trust as we make music around the clock and as we raise funds for the school.
Talented school musicians will be joined by members of the Old Southendian Association and other friends of the school for this fantastic day celebrating many styles of music and our performers.
More activities, refreshments, a chance to get your ChristMoose merchandise (baubles, Christmas cards, and wrap!), and opportunities to get involved during the day will be available, with more details to emerge on the Charitable Trust website in the coming days.
Join in the celebration for as little or long as you like, online via the livestream or in person if you're local...
Like to sing? Drop in for a chance to singalong to Christmas favourites from 2pm, and again later in the day as part of our "big finale" from 7:30pm to 9pm.
We're taking requests: sponsor a piece! Want a Christmas carol or other piece of music to feature during the day? Send your request to with your bid and we'll get back to you to confirm when to listen along if it's selected!

Drop in during the morning to learn about how the organ works and its history, take a tour of the pipes, and even step up to the keys to play! Whether you are an accomplished organist, an enthusiastic pianist, or a total beginner, come for this special opportunity to get up close to an incredible instrument.
Or alternatively or additionally, why not come for the evening concert? This will showcase talented Southendian solo musicians and ensembles performing a wide range of styles and instruments, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
