As
always, we performed at Chapel
Services and on Founders evening,
we were congratulated by Mr Lovett,
who was impressed by the number
of boys in the choir!
I
had the privilege to go to Johannesburg
and work with international choir
directors such as Prof Kare Hanken
from Norway. It certainly broadened
my mind and horizons and helped
create new ideas which I could
successfully implement in the
choir.
After
Founders, we were invited to sing
at the launch of the new Audi
in Nelspruit, which was a very
special occasion and surely a
feather in our cap! Although the
fumes of the diesel-engined car
were in our faces, we sang our
hearts out and shortly afterwards
we were privileged to be in the
Lowvelder.
The
annual Combined Choir Evening
in our school hall, where the
Prep choirs also sang and our
orchestra took part, was held
in August and the ‘surround
sound’ placing of choirs
was a hit! We ended with the audience
singing the school hymn, accompanied
by the orchestra.
In
September, we took part in the
local Eisteddfod and achieved
87%. This was a great improvement,
but the most important aspect
is that we all had so much fun
performing and it was a day enjoyed
by all.
All
that is left for this year’s
choir is Valediction and the Carol
Service. Thank you to each and
every member of the choir this
year, who made it worth while
for everybody else. A special
thanks to Anthony, our gap from
England, who became one of us
and was at every rehearsal and
performance.
