A day of Musical Magic: House Music Cup 2026

Published 05/03/26, by Laura Trinkwon

The air in the Dane Court Grammar School theatre was electric this week, as students gathered for the annual House Music Cup on Wednesday the 4th March. It was a spectacular showcase of talent, grit, and harmony, with our six houses—Barcelona, Delphi, Neuchâtel, Helsinki, Sorrento, and Tallinn—battling it out for the top spot.

Our external judges, all professional musicians, were blown away by the excellent quality of the performances. They particularly noted the impressive surge in participation this year, proving that the musical spirit at Dane Court is stronger than ever.

The competition was split into three distinct categories, each bringing its own unique energy to the stage.

Over February half term, the Science Department led by Ms Sabic took 40 year 10 and 12 students to Italian Dolomites, the region where the Winter Olympic Games took place this year.

We stayed in a nice hotel (Orsa Maggiore) where the staff were really friendly and didn't mind opening room doors to locked out children many times during the week. Some enjoyed the games room and even the sauna at the hotel.
