Performance NotesA one minute silence was observed before the concert and a collection made to raise money for a memorial fund set up by Hagley RC High School whose pupil and teachers had attended the Schools Prom on 17 November 1993. After that concert, tragically children and teachers were killed in a road traffic accident outside the Hall. On 22 April 1994 a School Prom was held in aid of the School's fund to create a Music Wing as a lasting memorial to the lives of the children and teachers of the School.
