It was that time of the year again, when everyone at MGSC, students AND teachers, came together to perform an array of musical items at the annual House Music Competition. Each of the four houses, lead by their house captains and conductors, met on several occasions to rehearse the set song 'Party in the USA' by Miley Cyrus, their own choice song, and their house chants.
For many weeks leading up the competition, the house choirs and instrumental bands practiced during lunch times every week to prepare the songs as best as they could. On the day of the competition, the gym was filled with enthusiasm and the colours of green, blue, purple and yellow. It was great to see that everyone was supporting their houses. The highlight for most were the beautiful performances by the house soloists. Never have we seen such amazing singing talent at our school, ranging across the year levels. The house captains lead their houses for their chants both on and off the stage, battling it out to be the loudest. Each house interpreted 'Party in the USA' differently, accompanied by dancing, props and even Hannah Montana! All houses put in a great effort, but again it was Kenny who took first place. Despite Melba coming disappointingly last (many would disagree with the judge's decision), it was a successful event, bringing everyone together to share the art of music. A big thankyou to all the house captains, music captains, conductors, accompanists, choirs, bands, and Mr Veevers for making this a memorable moment. We will definitely miss being part of MGSC House Music. Melba House Captains Alyssa Hopkins and Sasha Long
