ANNUAL MAGAZINE - Dominican Convent School

UK Tour 2012
My favourite event this year was going to England on the UK
tour. Not only did we get to experience another country, I was
overwhelmed by the audiences' responses to our performances. I
think they were amazed, and had never seen marimbas before, nor
heard anyone play these instruments.

The UK was a whole different world, a whole new experience that
really opened my eyes to the fact that choir has come a long way.
From the first three sunny days we got to Stowe, to the next two
nights we spent in London performing everywhere like the Beatles.
It is through this experience I make the promise to live in the UK
one day, a great experience in a great country. It was phenomenal.

Marimba made 2012 one of the best years of my entire school life.
Performing in the United Kingdom for Sir Richard Branson, at
South Africa House, at Stowe School and Sherborne Abbey were the
highlights of it all. I learnt how important teamwork is, and that no
one could succeed playing in a band alone. The UK tour certainly
brought us closer as a Dominican Family. Marimba is an instrument
that moves the soul.
