Last week we took our family to watch the Paraparaumu College production of Grease at Southwards Theatre. It was a fantastic evening and showed the depth of talent of our youth as they not only sang and danced, but made and managed the set, set up and operated complex sound and lighting, and put on a great evening of family entertainment.
The local choreography and musical arrangement in particular were amazing. I’m reluctant to name anyone because there were well over 100 people who deserve the recognition.
The same was true at the Horowhenua College kapa haka competition. It was an emotive and inspirational Friday afternoon in the college gymnasium, seeing students and some of the staff take part. It was special to have Chris Wilton there, one of the two original composers of the school haka.
