A MESSAGE FROM THE CREATIVE ARTS TEAM ‘Tis the season to be merry...and very busy! November and December are always months where the school community celebrates its cultural diversity in the most spectacular way. From Diwali and Loy Krathong, to Christmas and a full-blown West End-style musical, GIS students aim to bedazzle everyone with their creative, dramatic, musical and dance skills. Over the next few weeks are the fruits of hours, months and even years of training. Training to believe in oneself, to take risks, to empathise with and to embody unfamiliar characters, to develop skills in speech, singing, playing instruments, moving, designing, to juggle many expectations and rehearsals in an already busy schedule, but mostly, training to face a crowd, under the spotlight, and lay bare the human spirit in various forms of expression. Just before the holidays, students had already begun to test the waters of public performance by holding two Live@Lunch concerts outside the school canteen. Both were very well received. Primary school pianist, Xander, rendered a beautiful Chopin waltz to awed Secondary students. There were a few ensemble pieces that were prepared by the students themselves, a powerful and moving monologue by George and a sneak preview of two pieces from Holes, our upcoming musical. The world premiere of Holes, the Musical, is set for 14 - 16 November. All performances begin at 7pm and the box office will open soon, so keep a sharp lookout! Over the holidays, teachers have been kept busy writing music, building sets and making costumes. Almost half the Secondary student body is involved in some way, so we hope that the whole community will come support this major project. A fortnight after Holes is the Christmas Fair (December 1), followed by the Christmas Concert (December 6). There will possibly also be a public performance at Central Rayong Mall, with details to follow. Students have been preparing hard to perform a seasonal repertoire and really celebrate the end of a long and intense year of great achievements. We really look forward to seeing you at all these events! As always, thank you for your continued support of The Arts at GIS! Mr Lund Head of Arts 28
