This year Colla Voce has performed a number of times and was privileged enough to be asked to perform in the 40th Jubilee School Arts festival. We performed alongside other successful performers that were past students of Havelock North High School. This opportunity was a definite highlight for the choir. We were able to see what hard work can do and where it can get us in the future with the standard of performing being outstanding. We also competed in the annual Big Sing competition in term two and just recently performed in the schools Music Festival. Our performances were at our highest thanks to the directorship of the incredibly talented, Mrs Melville. Colla Voce strives to continue the high standard of performing that we have achieved this year and very much enjoyed growing as a choir.

We started the year with plenty of new faces coming in to replace the old heads. After a busy first term for most of us due to Beauty and The Beast, the second term signalled the beginning of some trademark Future Prospect hard work to prepare for the annual Big Sing competition. Our mentor Mrs Melville chose some challenging songs for us, but her excellent musical knowledge coupled with her tremendous patience and ability to put up with 20 rowdy teenage boys meant that we pulled through in time for the competition. While we weren’t able to back up our previous two regional winning performances, we all had a great time entertaining the crowd and generally singing because we enjoy it. Future Prospect Back Row: Joshua Kent, Jack Roberts, Oliver Taylor, Elisha Hartley, Sean Arcus 2nd Row: Jasper Ross, Liam Millar, Teag MacKay, Mitchell Keip, Finlay Keip, Nathan Miller, Mrs Melville (Coach) Front Row: Drew Olsen, James Richards, Arran Cargill-Brown, Ben Hooper, Jack Warren, Jude Snee, Jonty Godfrey Absent: Sam Miller I would like to say a huge thank you to Mrs Melville for all of her hard work that she puts in, not only this year but for many years before. Without her, we would be just a scraggly bunch of boys who come along to shout a few words every Thursday lunchtime. Her attitude towards our enjoyment and growth is what keeps this choir going. Thanks for another great year Future Prospect! Mitchell and Finlay Keip
