During the last week of last term, the Choir performed at the 10^th Annual Singfest concert event. Singfest is quite an expectation on students, as they have to commit to learning seven songs which will be sung with the 300 or so strong Combined School’s Choir and another song which is performed by the individual school. More than just learning songs, singing in the choir requires developing discipline, working on vocal techniques with breath control and vowel sounds, extending their range, singing independently in parts, working closely as a team, etc. The rehearsal and lead up could be likened to preparing a football team for a grand final or a dance troupe for competitions. In these situations, your commitment drives you to the culminating performance and nothing is going to prevent you from reaping the rewards of all the hard work that has been put in. Thank you to those families that ensured their children would see their commitment through. The Choir that was there on the night did an outstanding job of representing our school. They certainly were a highlight of the event.
