My School Concert |
|
 |
|
We had a school concert last year. All the classes took part in it. My class
put up a play called 'The Magic Flute'. I can still remember how excited we
were when we tried on our colourful costumes.
We spent a lot of time on rehearsals.
The audience must have enjoyed our play tremendously, judging from the
loud applause as the curtains dropped. The Malay dance performed by the Form
Two girls was very beautiful. The dancers wore Malay costume and had roses
in their hair. They looked graceful and charming in their green 'sarongs'
and white 'kebayas' as they danced to
the accompaniment of Malay music.
Besides these items, the School Choir sang Malay and English songs. Form
One girls, too, contributed an item. It was a ribbon dance, using long,
colourful ribbons.
All of us enjoyed the concert very much. Our teachers were surprised that
there were so many talented girls in our school. We hope to stage another
show at the end of the third term before school closes. |
