Vocal Night

Students from year 7 to 12 performed at the first Vocal Night since 2019 on Wednesday 31 March they all warmed up and started with the brave year 7 groups followed by year 8s and ending with the developing and more accomplished intermediate and senior students. All Star Choir sang a rousing rendition of the Lewis Capaldi hit 'Someone you Loved' while Madrigal sang an arrangement of their own of 'Creep' and an arrangement in three parts for 'She Used To Be Mine'.

There was a huge variety of music from jazz, through music theatre, pop/rock, contemporary ballad, folk, soul and even emo/hardcore by Jay Jay! Maya Cameron came in to accompany Vee Callaghan on the guitar and Emily Or sang a song in Chinese.

Thank you to Eden Dubinovski and Ellie Barnshaw for compering, and for Ms Wendy Harvey for her accompanying and all her support for All Star Choir/Madrigal. A huge thanks to Mr Tim Veevers for set up too!
