PRODUCTION - UNO'S GARDEN
There are a lot of tired but happy children today after a week of performing. The performances have been amazing and many parents who have not experienced our shows before have been blown
away with the professionalism of it all. It is a real team effort to bring the whole show together, especially as every child in the school is involved.
But pulling it all together is a blast and overall we are thrilled
with the outcome. A huge thank you to our director Kirsten Berry and the teaching team, to parents and
friends of the school and to our children who performed so well. A special
thanks to Talita Archibald of Musical Stars for generously supplying costumes and to Lisa Daniel and Narelle Ferrier who helped paint the backdrops. Thanks also to the Home and School for organising the pre-show drinks and nibbles and to Blue Carrot who are supplying dinner for our staff tonight.ARTSPLASH
We had over 100 students sing in the massed choir and
they were outstanding! They sang their wee hearts out and looked great all
decked out in their school t-shirts! We also had a group of students showcase
their creations in the Wearable Arts section of the show - Lily Griffiths, Ruby
Brandwood, Georgia Cotter, Rose Scott-Billings, Carlotta Fegert and Rachel Aislabie.
These girls were excellent up on stage and it was lovely to have them volunteer
to be part of the event.
Our star guitarist and singer, Gus Reece did us proud!
Gus was invited to do the guitar solo and singing solo for the Queen Song,
‘Somebody To Love’. This was an amazing opportunity for Gus and he slotted in
with the band very easily. He was dressed as Freddy Mercury, strutted out on
stage, guitar in hand and proceeded to wow everyone! He did 4 performances and
just got better and better! His final performance was in the concert where
Muritai were part of the choir and this made it extra special for both the
choir and Gus. The musical director, Ella Hanify and band were most
complimentary and said not only was he super talented but what a lovely boy he
was to work with too. You can check Gus out on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wemCQl9B5VQ
We had another star performer but this time it was in
the Dance show. Kia Jewell, one of Year 8 girls, did a spectacular solo dance
performance which the audience were blown away by. Kia also performs a solo
dance in the school production (which she choreographed herself!) Kia is a
delight to work with too, she is so humble and low key about her outstanding
ability. She is amazingly talented and will be one to watch in the future!
Muritai was also represented in the visual Art
exhibition in the Renouf Foyer at the Michael Fowler Centre. We had work from
Year 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and many teachers and parents from other schools
commented on the high standard of their work.
Congratulations to all our Artsplash performers. I was
so proud of each and every one of you and really appreciate all your hard work
and energy.
