Join our GSIS Virtual Choir! - An Invitation by Mr Gleeson

Dear GSIS past and present students and teachers!

We are celebrating our 50th Anniversary and would like you to participate in the GSIS International ‘Virtual’ Choir - which will feature during a ‘live' performance of ‘Adiemus’ in our 50th Anniversary Concert, November 29.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to be part of the celebrations. This event will bring the whole community together from Past and Present, so participation is the key, and not necessarily the quality of your voice:). So please give it a go! We want to see your glorious face smiling on the screen during the’ live' performance.

These ensembles were made popular by Eric Whitacre back in 2009. If you want to see an example click here.

Instructions

Practice either Choir 1 or Choir 2 along with the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OueWlXnTLg&t=0s&index=3&list=PLapcBG7vO8kcR4GJTTNN64XCKbCnjynjS .

Then, record yourself singing with the music playing on your headphones whilst following the music score on the screen.

Make Sure Your Face Is Well Lit

Please make sure your face is well lit and in the centre of the screen.

Wear Plain Clothing

Please wear plain clothing. This means no logos, images, or text on the shirts. The only exception is if you want to wear a GSIS related shirt!

Wear Your Headphones

When recording yourself, you must ensure that you are wearing headphones so that all the notes and timings are correct. The only thing we want to hear on your recording is your singing.

File Types

Save the recording to your computer or device and upload it with the link below.
Or you can upload to YouTube or Vimeo and click ‘Unlisted’, not ‘Private’, otherwise we won’t be able to see the video. File types like .wmv, .mp4, .mov will all be supported and are generally easier to send to other people.

Have Fun!

Have fun with it! Even if you are reading the music for the entire time, do it with a smile. If you’re having fun, this will come across in your voice and face, even if you make a mistake!

Submissions

When you are ready to submit your videos, please upload it here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScbrE6dbTzAPXxAEMYKxTw5ZpZ9o3u9an_QICDTmYVEQTSCbw/viewform?usp=s....

[GSIS DRAMA] English Primary Play

Have you ever wondered what happens in a museum if all the paintings came to life?

This is the question our EPD Drama students wet out to answer in their play for this school year.

This years group of students gave an amazing performance, as they transformed our Upper Building Atrium into a world class art museum.

Three cheers go to all our aspiring actors, as well as Ms McLachlan for putting it all together! ... See MoreSee Less
