Year 6 Music leaders’ reflections on the Night of Song

Clio Stockley

Hi, I’m Clio Stockley and I am one of the 4 Primary music leaders. I performed in 2 acts at Night of Song (NOS) this year. I performed with the Junior Choir, which is an optional choir for Years 3-6, conducted by Mr Burley. I also performed with the Junior Chamber Choir which is an auditioned choir for students who are in Years 4-6 and conducted by Mrs Longney. The NOS is a highlight of the year for the choirs because this is one of the few times in the year we get to perform to a large and varied audience. 

As I sat and watched all the solos, I got goosebumps on my goosebumps because the students’ voices were outstanding! Another thing that gave me goosebumps were the Senior Choirs – they were truly amazing. From every note to every voice they were all awesome. I can’t wait to be in the senior choirs next year. Thank you to the Music Department for making this wonderful night possible. I also give thanks to the staff who stayed late after school to help supervise. And lastly but definitely not least I congratulate all of the students who performed in the NOS.

Jamie Schneider

Hi, I’m Jamie Schneider and I am one of the music leaders for 2017. In this year’s Night of Song, the performances varied from choirs to solo acts. I performed with the Junior Chamber Choir, the Junior Choir and I also performed solo, singing Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. As part of The Night of Song 12 solo acts from Years 3-12 were selected. The songs varied from musical theatre to covers, pop songs and original music written by the students. Mr Burley accompanied soloists beautifully, while others played guitar to accompany themselves. Every soloist was quite amazing and were able to perform beautifully despite singing in front of 200 people! A big thank you to the whole Music Department, the singing tutors and the supportive parents.
