Music
Guildford County School is a specialised music college.
On 21 October 2008, all choirs and musical ensembles performed at the internationally acclaimed Queen Elizabeth Hall in London to an audience of around 1000. This concert was held to celebrate The Voice and the use of singing as an educational tool; the members of Guildford County School were joined by several junior schools from around Surrey that have worked alongside GCS on this project for many months. The school now has many new facilities, due to the specialist music status, including another music studio. This has proved very useful for concerts and performances, and enabled music technology, an A-level option, to progress and develop as qualification and as an extracurricular activity for younger students.
