NZ Music month wrap up...


HOOK, LINE and SING-ALONG on MAY 31
This Friday May 31st, on top of a normal music day of rockband, marimba, Irish band and theory, we are celebrating the end of NZ music month with two stunning events.

11am the choir will pop over to Aranui Libray and perform 4 songs. One of them will be the NZ Music month Song "Paradise" written for the 2013 Hook, Line and Sing-along celebrations.

12noon our whole school will be joined by Avondale Primary for a huge rendition of "Paradise"... imagine 1000 voices... it's going to be magnificent! Following that, the school houses and Avondale will have a sing-off to see who can win the most house points and NZ Music month spot prizes for the most fabulous performance of "Paradise".  All this will be filmed and edited that afternoon into a special collage of Chisnallwood and other schools' performances from around Canterbury and NZ performing the same song.
You can check the song out at the link below - there's still time to learn it and join in!
