At the outset of the 2021, Sacred Heart College Choir Director Kate Rees established a new choral initiative to more effectively celebrate the many vocal talents and interests of our students. One of the successful outcomes of this reinvention was the Broadway Chorus. This group of enthusiastic young singers meets every Tuesday lunchtime and their repertoire comprises favourite songs from Broadway Productions.

The school Assembly which was scheduled for Monday May 24 provided the perfect setting for their debut performance. The Broadway musical, Hamilton, is receiving accolades around the world and enjoys enormous popularity. The song ‘My Shot’ from that musical was therefore a winning choice for this debut.

The performers presented the song with great commitment and energy, once again expertly directed by Kate Rees, and were warmly received by the audience of students and staff. To hear live music once again presented at an assembly after such a long absence due to restrictions, was a joy indeed.

We look forward in enthusiastic anticipation to hearing a great deal from Broadway Chorus in the months ahead.
