This afternoon we were exceptionally lucky to be visited by the amazing choir from Dunstan High School in Alexandra. They were on their way to 'The Big Sing' Choir competition in Dunedin, and stopped of to entertain our school as they made their way to the event.
They were an incredibly talented group of students who 'wowed' us with their music. They sung for us as a whole group, they sung solo's and duets. We were shown a phenomenal guitar solo. We were entertained by the school jazz band and a boys band. Their band/orchestra were extremely clever too, and their amazing performance has inspired all of the students and staff at Lawrence Area School. I am quite certain that many students, who sat in awe of the talent, will have fostered a new-found love of music and performance today.
The group finished their performance by showing us their 'set' that they have prepared for the competition tomorrow night. They had to sing a New Zealand song, and they had chosen a Maori song. They had to sing a classical piece, and they sung a beautiful song from Russia. Then they finished with their own rendition of the song 'Africa', which was accompanied by actions and was truly wonderful to watch.
It was an outstanding performance and the students of room 4 were 'buzzing' on their return to the classroom.
