MAD Night!
GIS held a MAD evening – full of Music, Art and
Drama!
On March 27, stunning artwork was displayed, while the new-look hall then
staged performances from the school’s young collection of musicians and
actors.
Before the show began, parents, teachers and students mingled in one
half of the hall, which displayed IB art work from D’Lisa and IGCSE Design
and Technology creations. Teachers were also on hand to serve wine.
Guests were then shown to their tables, where some specially-created
snacks had been laid on.
The evening’s performances started with some tribal drumming from Teng,
Sony, Pume, Akihiro and Gorn, followed by the choir
singing ‘Happy’. The Year 10 girls took to the stage to
perform ‘Royals’ and then the IGCSE boys sang
‘Sunshine of Your Life’ before Praw staged a superb
monologue from ‘Gossip’.
The first half also featured Year 9 music and drama, a
duologue from Mary and Shaniya based on ‘Two Sisters
in a Frosty Situation’, while Hyojung played ‘Waterfall’
on the piano. Matt impressed with a monologue from
‘The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, the IB1 band
played ‘Funk My Life’ and Maria ended the first half with
a monologue based on ‘Chocolate Heaven’.
After a short break, during which some rock bands
played, the orchestra played ‘Entry of the Gladiators’,
which was followed by GeeGee’s monologue from ‘The
Witches’. The flute group played Dixieland, after which
Gear and Henry staged a hilarious duologue from
‘Macbeth on the Loose’. After the Year 9 girls sang
‘Bonfire Heart’ and Matt and Nutt did a duologue from
‘Blood Brothers’, Gear returned to the stage to end the evening with Puck’s famous
soliloquy from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.
Many thanks to the numerous people who helped out to create this night.
