A good summer
Posted on: 21 July 2026
A good summer indeed.
So much so that I finally realized my dream of staging the DomDom summer term concert outdoors.
Our 12th concert and our first one in open air – right here at DomDom HQ.
For me, it was a very moving affair and I want to extend my sincerest thanks to:
- Each and every body who played a part in us getting this far
- All of you that came to support
- Everybody who performed:
- Gavin from Beaucroft for capturing the evening on camera
And a special mention to our first time performers: Stanley, Finn and Paige and a fond and grateful farewell to Thomas and Tilly who are off to university.
As always the concert also served as an opportunity to recognize those DomDom drummers that were particularly committed to their practice and topped the summer term ‘Who’s-aceing-TheDomDom’s-TomToms’ chart.
Hats off to:
Gary, Chris, Paul, Dave, Gabriel, Max, Alex, Artie and Jack
And as the concert marked the end of the academic year, let’s indulge in a little review:
Since September 2025:
- TheDomDom drummers have collectively practised 65670 minutes / 1095 hours
- 16 DomDom drummers donated their respective prices and sponsored the planting of a whopping 1600 trees. Our current total now stands at 9719 trees (click here for full details on the scheme)
- 13 DomDom drummers challenged themselves by taking their next grade with very respectable results: 1 pass, 11 merits & 1 distinction.
- 40 DomDom drummers performed in this year’s DomDom end of term concerts
And I had the pleasure of teaching around 1383 lessons and am now enjoying my break 😉
Happy holidays everybody and thank you for all your support throughout the academic year.
I very much look forward to welcoming you all back in September.
Thank you for being part of TheDomDom.
