THERE wasn’t an empty seat in the house as Ringwood Waldorf School celebrated the tenth anniversary of its variety show.

Students and staff took to the stage to showcase an array of talent, from comedic sketches and clowning around, to music and Bollywood dance.

Parents also grabbed a piece of the limelight as the Heartsong Choir gave a rendition of Sister Sledge’s We are Family.

And stand-up comedian and school parent Richard Ryan expertly compèred.

School administrator Nigel Revill performed the Beatles’ I Saw Her Standing There and Monty Python’s Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

He said: “Who knows, maybe next year we’ll get Simon Cowell down here to see what real talent looks like?”

The variety show raised £1,000 for the school from its two performances, which were both sold out.
