PERFORMING ARTS – 14th Annual Classical Guitar Competition
On Saturday 29 October 2022, the music department held our 14th Annual Classical Guitar Competition in the Candlelight Theatre.
This year’s 62 entries from 22 primary and high schools surpassed our earlier record of 42.
Once again, the performance level was impressively high from the youngest 8-year-old grade 2 performer to grade 12. Each had come along eager to fight for the converted trophies and medals.
Despite the 33-degree temperature, our captivated audience endured the 3 hours show with warm appreciation for all contestants and the promise to return in 2023 to witness our youth showing off their talents again.
EHS learners gave an excellent account of themselves.
Performance medals were awarded to:
Neo Tenai Gr.8
Aidyn Sullivan Gr 9
Aiden van der Merwe Gr. 9
Thaania Omar Gr. 8
Justin Kerr Gr. 9
Zane Jacobs Gr. 12.
Thaania Omar took second place in the grade 8 category.
Zane Jacobs took 3rd place in grade 12.
Aiden van der Merwe was awarded the trophy for best beginner. Aiden had only started playing 11 months ago yet beat a field of 9 guitarists in his group.
Our congratulations to our eagles. Your soared high on Saturday. We are all extremely proud of you.
When is the 2023 competition? Can a student still sign up?
Good day
Please ask your child to chat to Mrs Bekker, the Head of Culture and Performing Arts at our school. Have a lovely day further.
