Jonty's Christchurch School’s Music Festival

Now a lot of you are wondering what this poster on room 9’s window is about. It is about a Music Festival in the Town Hall that people all over Canterbury go to. It consists of many groups such as: Choirs, an Orchestra, a concert band, a recorder ensemble, plus some groups join together to make a piece. The theme is Pathways. I don’t really know what other groups are going to play but I do know that the Orchestra is going to play Pirates of the Caribbean, and I do know that the Concert Band is Playing Cartoon Symphony which Includes: 2 Bugs Bunny themes, The Simpsons,(Meet) The Flintstones, The
Jetsons, the pink panther , and Animatics. So now you know heaps about the festival but how do you get into it. A lot of people try to get in but most don’t. What you have to do is to do an audition with someone. After that they judge the best people to be in the festival. About two months after you did your audition they tell you if you were successful. Some people in Thorrington School got into this festival. The people are: Jonty Schmidt, Benny Schmidt, Mille Peate-Garratt, and Ella Somers. Jonty and Benny got in for the Concert Band, Mille got in for the junior choir, and Ella got in for the recorder
ensemble. Also all the choirs in schools go to the festival to make the massed choir. So we will see the Thorrington School choir there. The festival will be on the 15th, 16th, 17th, 21st, 22nd, and the 23rd of October. So now you know heaps about the festival and I hope you share it.
