Here it is the end of the term already. When we return after the holidays we have 7 weeks before the Ripponlea 2017 School Concert hits the stage! Make sure TUESDAY AUGUST 29th is in your diaries and on your calendars.

Fiona Harris has given the script its  last tweaking and  the 5/6’s have auditioned and been assigned roles. Now it is up to all the students with speaking lines to make sure they learn them over the holidays in preparation for group rehearsals.

This term also all the classes have successfully participated in Stomp Dance Workshops and learnt a choreographed dance for the production. This  will continue to be practised and polished in the weeks leading up to our concert.

Mike McLeish has once again put his song writing talent into action for us and the holiday vibe of the opening song and celebratory tone of the finale will send you into these holidays with a smile!

The lyrics, demonstration and karaoke tracks are on this blog, on the page in the menu bar titled ‘School Concert 2017.’

Singing songs and learning lines is a great way to make long car trips pass quickly and even shorter jaunts in and around the city can be productively used to become a little more familiar with lyrics and lines.

It has been a musically focussed term and after the break we will be honing our other performing arts skills in order to bring you yet another amazing, colourful and entertaining School Concert!

Happy Holidays.
