Pupils from Felsted School recreated the golden age of American music with a spring concert for family and friends at the school's Lord Riche Hall.
Featuring 200 of the school's most talented musicians, pupils aged nine to 18 celebrated some of the biggest names in American music history, from Glenn Miller to Jerry Lee Lewis.
The Felsted Orchestra performed a set of Cole Porter classics, Felsted Prep's young choir voices performed a jazz and blues tribute, and there were also performances from the senior choir, jazz band, steel band and Year 9 band Six of Spades, who performed 'Johnny B. Goode'.
The evening ended with a '"raucous" rock and roll finale from the senior jazz band of 'Great Balls of Fire' and 'Shake, Rattle and Roll'.

Felsted Preps’s director of music, Owen Rees, said: "This was such an enjoyable evening and did real justice to some of the most iconic music of all time.
"It was also a celebration of the musical talent we have at Felsted - performing in front of such a supportive and enthusiastic audience is a great experience for our young musicians and spurs them on to hit new heights with their singing and playing."
