Marbella Old Town Carol Competition 2018

Marbella Old Town Carol Competition

There are two vocal ensembles at BISM, the Lower School and the Middle School choirs. The children come to a rehearsal every week during their lunch hour. They are dedicated and enthusiastic and Mr Everist and I are delighted with their hard work over this term.

Both choirs had already performed at the art exhibitions and the BISM carol concerts, but their moment really came on Friday 14th December when they performed at the Marbella Old Town Carol Competition.

Several schools from Marbella perform in two categories: ages 5-8 and 9-11. The Lower School choir were the first up, and gave a fantastic performance of ´Where Shall We Go This Christmas´. The event organisers said how well the children sang and how much they enjoyed hearing the children sing in different languages. The Middle School choir didn´t have long to wait and gave a lively and accomplished performance of Winter Wonderland.  The Music teachers from other schools recognised how much work the Middle School choir had put in to result in a sound like theirs.

Both choirs were rewarded for their efforts. The Lower School choir won their category and the Middle School choir were awarded best vocal ensemble.

It was a wonderful morning and fantastic to see the children recognised for their talent outside of school.
