watch and Ashburton College girls excelled in their execution. A comic shout was heard
“Bring back the girls!”, after their performance! Here we saw all that is authentically good in
our young people today. The fabulousness of skill and music, fun and talent was showcased by
schools from all over Canterbury, and Malborough.
It was not a competition in essence, but it was evident that each school was reaching new
heights of excellence and entertainment, as Shirley Boys High so ably showed with their
stunning, exuberant and highly skilled performance. They roared on stage, lifting the roof with
their routine. It was a joy to be there to witness such unity and super fast hand actions, and
choreography. The screams, shouts and applause from the audience echoed the tremendous
appreciation we all felt for their hard work and skill. But it was not only them, but
every single school that took that stage were outstanding.
