It was yet another successful Seasonal Concert with fantastic performances from all the pupils from Junior 1 up to Senior 6. Parents have commented on how great the show was this year and how impressed they were with the talent of the school. Mrs. Smart’s hard work obviously paid off.
Highlights of the show included:
The Junior School
The Junior School
Little Cherub Choir (J1-J3) who sang ‘Basil Belmont’ and ‘All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth’- which was suitable for some of the children on stage!
J4-J6 Choir who dazzled us with ‘Santa Fever’ and their ‘Showbiz Snowman’ song, in a stupendous Broadway / Winter style with walking sticks and woolly hats instead of canes and top hats.
Junior crackers (J5 Soloists) - Violinists Olivia G and Jackie M who played ‘Jingle Bells’.
Trumpeter - Struan B who played ‘Good King Wenceslas’.
Definitely talent for the future!
The Senior School
The Senior School
Guitar Club (S1 to S6 performed ‘Marry You’ by Bruno Mars with Ed M and Dylan M who played the bells. Jodie M (S3) was our ‘front-woman’ both singing and playing the guitar while the Senior Choir joined in with the chorus.
Celtic Group which never fails to impress, performed the Indiana Jones theme, 'Palladio' and 'Celtic Christmas'. They also performed the ‘Fairytale of New York’ and with a different spin had the lovely Alison B dance on stage in her colourful Irish dancing dress.
Soloists- (S3 Girls) Miriam S, Aqsa S, Jodie M and Tara P sang a lovely cover of ‘When You Wish upon a Star’.
(Ashleigh M)- sang ‘Hallelujah’ and then a duet of ‘Silent Night’ on piano with Cameron M. Both songs were beautifully performed which meant that the audience could sit back and relax.
(Austin M)- who played the guitar to ‘Sound the Bells’. As usual, our very own Jimmy Hendrix sounded superb.
(Me- Carl M)- I sang ‘You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch’ from the film; you guessed it, The Grinch. I don’t know how it sounded, so it could have been terrible, but I enjoyed singing it anyway because it was a fun song to doJ.
(Drama)- Throughout the evening we were entertained by some of the junior senior members of the Drama Club who performed Christmas monologues. Well done to Abigail L, Lauren S, Hannah B, Robyn L, Nairne C and Jack R.
(Staff/ Senior Choir)- we performed the songs 'Dinner Bell' and 'Now in Bethlehem'. Staff appearances included Mr. Pichotka (who was held the part 2’s together), Mr. Lee and Mr. Doak (who were hiding at the back of the choir) and Jennifer Moore.
Elf Bell Ringers- now some of these names may ring a bell; Jonny T, Andrew W, Ryan M and Sam A rang bells to 'Jingle Bells' which was absolutely hilarious. Santa Claus was also able to make a special visit to Belmont when the audience joined in with Jingle Bells. Santa was great, the kids were hyper and we were bombarded with sweets. Everybody won!
Senior Choir- performed 'Movin’ On Up' (which we recorded for the BBC for Children In Need), performed Where You Lead (the song from Gilmore Girls), 'Silver Bells', 'It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year' and A Holiday Sing-along (to end off the show with the Celtic Group).
