Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Angelique van der Velden —

What an extravaganza at Avonhead Mall to end our 2019 musical journey. The Merrin Senior and Junior choirs combined with our Bollywood dancers plus soloists and special guests, to spread Christmas joy at our local Mall.

55 of our Merrin Stars sang some show stoppers which brought smiles to the faces of the many shoppers and parents.

Thankyou to Yzza, Molly, Tom, Nakeisha, Nikkie, Liesl, Taylor, Laila, Nicole and Isabella for such exquisite Bollywood dancing and Sana D for sharing her skills.

Maddie and Petra treated us to a beautiful flute duet while Luka (an ex-Merrin student), showed us how to sign the song One Thousand Years. Junie and Yzza took on the challenge of singing Gloria in Excelsis. 

Hasn't the Junior Choir initiative by Petra and Sophia been an outstanding success this year. Go girls. There are some photos of our community service at Elms Court retirement Village today. 35 students gave joy to the residents. What a singalong. 

Thankyou again to Letitia for her amazing keyboard playing and this simply couldn't happen without parent help. Thank you. 

And then it's a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Angelique. Farewell for now and good luck in 2020!
