Blackwater House Concert

FEATURE Blackwater House Concert

On Saturday, the 6th of November, the girls from Blackwater put on a fantastic house revue for parents and pupils at the College. Flo Long and Elo Johnston were the comperes for the revue, dressing up as clowns and telling many funny jokes throughout the night. The revue consisted of dances, videos, singing, a piano performance, a guitar performance and a wonderful sketch from the Year 10’s. One of the highlights of the revue was Megan Lee playing Piano Waltz in G flat by Chopin. Megan played the piece beautifully, and then shocked the audience when her performance turned into a hiphop dance with loads of dance moves and ending with a human pyramid. The Year 12’s performed an excellent dance to the Just Dance piece ‘Jump’, with wonderful choreography and costumes. Orla Boutler sang an incredible version of Adele’s ‘Easy on Me’ with Florence Assetto accompanying her beautifully on the piano. The Year 11’s created a music video to Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’, which brought out many laughs among the audience. Nella Green performed one of her original songs, which was definitely a crowd favourite. The year 9’s performed a dance to ‘YMCA’ which got the audience excited and had them cheering along to their performance. Mary Keast-Butler played a show stopping guitar solo of Eric Clapton’s ‘Uncomfortably Numb’. The Year 13 video was also one of the highlights of the evening, with their video re-creating ‘You’ve Been Framed’. The evening ended with the whole house coming together to sing their house song, ‘Shine’ by Take That. Their song included impressive harmonies and sounded fantastic! The final event of the evening was a raffle for Blackwater’s charity of choice, Teenage Mental Health. Prizes were given out to the winners of the raffle, including bottles of wine and various sweets. Overall, the Blackwater revue was definitely one to remember this year, and we can’t wait to see what these girls put on next year!
