House Music  

Thank you to everyone for making this year's House Music Competition a great success.  It was fantastic to see you participating with enthusiasm and supporting your Houses. The Senior House Captains, Music Captains, Soloists, Ensemble Directors and Accompanists all did a wonderful job. It was great to see all of the hard work pay off.

I would like to thank all of the staff for their participation and enthusiasm. In particular the PE staff for being flexible with their space, the IT staff and Gerry Van Den Berg for helping to set-up, and the music staff for their assistance and flexibility throughout the House Music preparation. The final results were: Kenny 113, Mackellar 112, Jackson 110 and Melba 98.

 

Our guest adjudicator, Rob Farnham, was extremely impressed by the House spirit and the high quality of all of the performances. The high quality of the performances made it very difficult for him to pick a winner, given that the sole responsibility of scoring this competition rested on his shoulders. 

 

Although I myself have no allegiances in this competition, as a Jackson member, I would like to congratulate Kenny for their outstanding performances. Their creativity and individuality paid off.

Well done!
