The Westlake Boys Choir known as the voicemale choir came to FHS today. This choir is conducted by Mr David Squire. They performed 3 pieces. The first piece they played was a Hungarian Soldier song. This song was all about a young soldier writing to his beloved wife. This soldier was described to be angry. In this piece the trumpet was played and also the drum was played. I gave this song a 9/10. The next song they preformed was about Christmas but not a song like Rudolf the red nose reindeer that we knew it was a new song to me about the angels when they where looking at Jesus and their golden light shining down on him. This song to me sounded like a lullaby, it was beautiful. So I have given it also a 9/10. The final song they sung was a song that had been written by a previous member of the voicemale choir. This students name was Robbie Ellis. The song was about a Howler Monkey. This was a very full on song that gave me lots of information about those particular monkeys. I learnt that they live in Brazil, Argentina, Columbia and Mexico. I gave this song a 10/10.
Later this year the voicemale choir are going to be performing at the town hall, competing in a concert called The Big Sing. In this choir the song I enjoyed the most was the Howler Monkey song as it was about an animals and I love animals. Also it taught me many facts as stated above and finally it was very full on and it kept me interested. The thing about this choir that I loved was how they had different melodies. Some where high and some where low.
Overall this was a spectacular performance that I found super entertaining and interesting.
Fifa U20 World Cup Game 1 - North Harbour Stadium Albany. New Zealand vs Ukraine. Result 0-0. Great day for football at Albany. Disappointing result but exciting second half. Drama with goal keeper collision! Number 20 Noah Billingsley came on and had impact. New Zealand so close towards the end. But at the end of the day the score was a fair reflection of the game. Next game - Tuesday NZ vs USA. Will you be there to support our boys? Kick off 7pm.
