HUNDREDS of friends and family turned out to see students perform Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat at Woodbridge High School's annual Christmas concert.

Talented pupils at the school, in St Barnabas Road, Woodford Green, put on the musical backed by Woodbridge's orchestra, a variety of student rock bands and the school choir.

Assistant headteacher Jeremy Clifton said: “Joseph was a special concert. It was touch and go whether they would be ready on time, but they astonished the audience with a wonderful performance.

"So many moments of individual and collective excellence. It had us all humming the tunes the next day.

"My thanks to our music staff, Linda Court and Alex Butters for making it all happen.”
