Victorian State School Spectacular

It may have been a dreary and wet day on Wednesday, but there were bright smiles and voices a plenty at the Victorian State Schools Spectacular choir mass rehearsal.

The conductor, Rebecca, and head of voice, Rob made a long day of rehearsals both informative and entertaining. Our choir members have risen to the challenge of learning both harmonies and they are nailing it! Well done.

Come and experience Melbourne’s biggest professionally staged song and dance extravaganza, the Victorian State Schools Spectacular, a dazzling arena production guaranteed to delight the whole family. We are a part of this show which features a 64-piece orchestra, 1300-voice choir, 1200 mass dancers, 30 lead vocalists, 16 principal dancers, 20 ensemble dancers, eight backing vocalists, a magician, roller skaters, puppeteers and much much more. Tickets are still on sale.
