performing arts night<br />
Our <strong>MC</strong> Auditorium was<br />
packed to the brim on<br />
Wednesday 20 June as our<br />
Performing Arts students<br />
starred in our annual<br />
Performing Arts night.<br />
The programme featured<br />
performances by Year 11, 12 and 13<br />
dancers, many of whom showcased<br />
stunning original hip-hop and<br />
contemporary choreography.<br />
Highlights included a rousing<br />
introduction from our kapa haka<br />
group, who introduced our new<br />
school haka, and some wonderful<br />
collaborations between our<br />
‘Noteworthy’ Junior choir singers<br />
and the dancers. The night included<br />
performances by our Year 13 Band,<br />
Year 11 & 12 Vocal Groups, and our<br />
Junior Drumline group who brought<br />
the house down with their energetic<br />
routine.<br />
Exceptional vocals and harmonies<br />
were showcased by our Girls Trio<br />
and Boys Quartet and we were<br />
treated to a lively, fantastically<br />
costumed Year 11 dance to the<br />
theme song from ‘Hairspray’.<br />
Ruby Winter:<br />
“It was a great<br />
experience because we<br />
got to learn different<br />
types of dance. It was<br />
awesome working<br />
with the University<br />
instructors because<br />
they helped us relate<br />
how we express<br />
emotions through<br />
dance.”<br />
