Secondary student performers held their Fall Concerts last week to showcase the musical talents they’ve been fine-tuning during their classes this semester. Caregivers, faculty, and students filled our state-of-the-art theater to show their support and enjoyed an evening of music.
Band Emergent opened the show on Tuesday, performing three songs including the festive “Jingle Bells” and “Jolly Old St. Nicolas”. Following them was Band Intermediate, who also festive with their renditions of “Betelehemu” and “All is NOT Calm (A Not-So-Silent Night).”
Next up was the Grade 8 & Upper Secondary Combined Band, who came together to perform songs such as “Mozart Mix” and “Beethoven’s Fifth Christmas”. To close out the show on Tuesday, the Upper Secondary Wind Ensemble performed popular songs from films such as “Pirates of the Carribean”, “Barbie’s World”, and “Pure Imagination”.
On Thursday, the Grade 6 & 7 Choir opened with the night with classic songs such as “Over the Rainbow”. The Grade 8 Choir followed with “Sing Me Home” and “Circle of Life”, and the APAC Choir sang “Sehati (One Heart)” and “Your Soul is Song”.
The Upper Secondary and CAS Choir came together to sing a few songs including popular songs like “Brave”, which also featured solo performances and a drum accompanist. Lastly, the combined Secondary Choirs all came together for their finale song “Why We Sing”. It was incredible to see and hear all of our singers come together and wow us with their singing voices!
Our String Orchestras came to the stage to perform next! Strings Emergent played “Variations on Twinkle”, Strings Intermediate performed “Dragonhunter” and “Violin Concerto in A Minor”, Grade 8 Strings played “Huapango”, and the APAC Orchestra performed “Divertimento in F Minor”.
The grand finale of two nights of concerts had our Upper Secondary String students come together to perform popular and festive songs such as “Viva la Vida”, “Carol of the Bells”, and “Jingle Bell Rock”.
At AISG, we recognize the value of creative expression and the arts. Our concerts are a celebration of our students’ learning and a showcase of their talents and hard work.
The Performing Arts program at AISG aims to not only develop technical and expressive competencies, but also to build confidence so that students see themselves as capable performers and musicians. Click here to discover the AISG Difference.
