Rosmini College’s Junior Choir won a bronze medal at Kids Sing – a competition for primary and intermediate school choirs held at the Auckland Town Hall on Tuesday, 11th August. Rosmini College’s Head of Music, Sue Williams was especially pleased with the win, as Rosmini was the only boys school there and they had one of the smallest choirs – fourteen boys – compared with the silver medal winners, Carmel College who had sixty members. The Rosmini choir sang a medley of songs including an African spiritual and When the Saints Go Marching In. Their two soloists, Matthias Mackay and Theophilus Carlos performed particularly well. The other members of the choir were; Michael Bennett, Bartosz Satro, Vance Avery, Andy Valeni, Christian Tasi, Amanaki Koro, Dale Gush, Layton Wright, Joseph Gibson, Tom Blackwell, Nicol Miller and Liam Joyce. |
