School Choir
Stars on Stage – What a Night!
On Tuesday 15th September, our wonderful Year 5 and 6 Festival Choir performed in the
Primary Schools Festival of Music: Stars on Stage at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
Alongside more than 1,300 Year 5 and 6 students from across South Australia, 23 of our students proudly took to the stage, showcasing their enthusiasm, confidence and musical talents. We were also delighted to see Zaydan Sohaib and Louis Leyden represent our school as street percussion artists, demonstrating exceptional dedication and skill. Both Zaydan and Louis are part of the opening number Sing! and are performing in all four concerts.
The Primary Schools Festival of Music is a treasured South Australian tradition that brings students together through artistic excellence, cultural diversity and social inclusion. Experiences like these not only create lasting memories but also help students develop confidence, teamwork and resilience. Singing and music participation have also been shown to support learning by strengthening concentration, memory, listening skills and creativity.
This year's concert was a truly unforgettable experience. Audiences were thrilled by energetic guest performances, outstanding musicianship from the orchestra and troupe, and a vibrant repertoire spanning a range of musical genres. Whether it was smashing out exciting anthems like Sing!, I Feel Like Dancing and Marcia Medley, or negotiating the challenging repertoire of the Wattle Sky commissioned work, our LNPS students showed tenacity and a true love of singing.
A special thank you to Cheryl Barker for supporting and bringing her boundless humour and enthusiasm to the day - we are so lucky to have your experience and knowledge. Thank you also to our choir parents, with a special shout out to Michelle Tonkin for volunteering at our offsite rehearsal in August. The support and encouragement you give to our choristers at home is such an important part of the choir experience.
We are incredibly proud of all our performers and grateful to be part of such a spectacular celebration of music, learning and public education. 🌟🎶
