Rhythm of Life Concert

A huge well done to all the children in senior choir who took part in the wonderful 'Rhythm of Life Concert' Last Friday. With 850 children from all the ESF primary schools performing it was a stunning event that will be remembered for a long time. The effort, commitment and enthusiasm of all our children was fantastic to see and they were a great credit to our school. More photos and video to follow soon - here's just a couple for now.

ESF Choral Concert Rehearsal

On Wednesday the 49 children in Senior Choir attended a rehearsal for the 'Rhythm of Life' concert which is fast approaching. They joined with children from all Kowloon side ESF schools - making approximately 400 performers in the choir. It was a great (if slightly tiring) day and the songs already sound fantastic! I can't wait for the actual concert on 20th March when there will be about 800 children in the choir!

Choir children please look at the updated information on the choral concert page: here

Christmas Carol Concert

A huge well done to all who performed at the Carol Concert on Tuesday. Senior Choir, Junior Choir and Ukulele Club all did a fantastic job and it was a wonderful event. Take a look at this video of some photos of you all looking fabulously Christmassy!

Have a super holiday and I look forward to more music making in 2015!

Christmas Carol Concert

Our Carol Concert this year is on Tuesday 16th December, starting at 6:30pm. Held on the school playground, it should be a great festive occasion with performances by both junior and senior choirs as well as our ukulele group. Refreshments will be available after the performance.

Children performing at the concert should come to the music room at 6pm wearing smart school uniform. The performance should last around 40 minutes. I look forward to seeing you there!

Performances at the School Fayre

I hope you're very excited about the School Fayre coming up on Saturday! This year it has a medieval theme - I'm looking forward to some fabulous costumes. I'm also looking forward to the musical performances by ukulele club and senior choir. All children involved in these two groups should come straight to the music room at 1:00 ready for our performances which begin at 1:20. Don't be late or you may miss it - see you there!

Performing Arts Day

On Friday 25 CWBS students from the  ukulele club and senior choir went with me, Ms Ross and Ms Lam to Kowloon Junior School for the ESF Performing Arts Day 2014. We had a great day watching groups from different ESF schools perform in all kinds of different ways and we got to perform 2 songs we've been working on.

All the children were a great credit to CWBS, participating with enthusiasm, confidence and a real sense of enjoyment. Take a look at the videos and photos below to see what we got up to.
 

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Oh When The Saints Medley

 

Somewhere over the rainbow

Here's a video of the song 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' done in a similar (but still different) way to our version. Choir and ukulele people have a go at singing or playing along. To listen another version of this song (that I actually prefer), follow this link.
