It started around 7.30 pm which gave me enough time to pick up my family's tickets at the booth and then we watched with many other families to an almost sold out show that highlighted a lot of singing talent out in the communities.
I must say I particularly loved the songs and items with a Pasifika flavour like the songs from the Moana movie's soundtrack and some Samoan items that were pretty neat and I also enjoyed listening to the student orchestra, the many solos that showed that there was no shortage of talent.
It was even neat to see one of the principals conducting the choir, with 3 costume changes (ha ha ha) and then there was the new principal from Royal Oak Intermediate who played the saxophone and some of the other teachers and principals either participating in an item, conducting the choir or playing a musical instrumental.
One of the highlights was with one of the principals playing the huge pipe organ in the background for the final finale number which ended with a resounding AMEN!!! Wow, it was a neat way to end an otherwise busy day.
Afterwards, we were able to pick up our tired children to take photos as well as to buy a huge one of the whole group from a professional photographer for $20. We then went to a family restaurant and laughed our way home in recalling some of the songs and acts.
All in all, a very neat way to spend the evening in town with family. Well done Auckland Primary Principals Association... way to go...
