Yesterday’s Diocesan Choral Showcase filled the auditorium at St Joseph’s Campus, All Saints College (ASC), Lochinvar with the sound of sweet melodies and harmonies.   

Alyssa Faith October 21, 2016

Running for eight years, the Diocesan Choral Showcase provides an opportunity for diocesan secondary school choirs to perform and participate in some friendly competition. This year, six diocesan secondary schools performed a variety of hits including U2’s “Beautiful Day”, Adele’s “Hello” and Cold Chisel’s “Flame Trees”. The choirs were judged on their technical aspects, presentation and exemplifying Josephite charisms. 

ASC, St Joseph’s Campus walked away with the trophy for Most Outstanding Choir with renditions of Neil’s Finn’s “Don’t Dream it’s Over” and the Pentatonix hit, “Na Na Na”. St Catherine’s Catholic College, Singleton also received a special mention for their acapella performance of the traditional African song, “Freedom is Coming”.

ASC, St Joseph Lochinvar’s rendition of the #Pentatonix hit, “Na Na Na”, along with Neil Finn’s “Don’t Dream it’s Over” won both the crowd and judges over at yesterday’s Diocesan Choral Showcase. Congratulations to St Joseph’s for walking away with the trophy for Most Outstanding Choir. #vividstudents #trynottodance

St Joseph’s Campus teacher, Alicia Paterson, said the focus of the day was on the joy of singing. “The winners of the showcase walk away with a trophy. However, the focus in on creating a fun and supportive performance opportunity for students.”
