MYO music was invited to sing at the Lutheran church youth choir concert on the 12 of July 2008. We decided to come together on Sunday 2 hours prior to the concert to dress and go through the 2 songs we were going to perform.
We had some of the grade 8 drummers, grade 5 choir members, some of the grade 6 and 7 choir members and grade 7 recorders.After rehearsing the 2 songs we walked to the church, which is pretty close to the MYO campus. Upon arriving at the church we tested the acoustics by going through our music and standing and sitting positions. We were first on the program since we were the youngest group.
The 2 songs we sang were Tuli Tuli and Namibia Lyetu Yene – both Namibia traditional songs. The children did really great since the acoustics of the church was very live as well. Most children stayed to watch the rest of the concert and it looked like the really enjoyed it. This was also a good experience for them to see how other musicians perform.
Thank you to all the teachers who helped and attended as well as Joris and his wife for coming to the concert.
