Catholic Schools Music Festival recap and viewing

The Catholic Schools Music Festival took an interesting detour in 2020! The usual performance at the Festival Theatre in front of a crowd of nearly 2000 people was changed to a professional recording with no audience in the beautiful de Bourg Theatre at Sacred Heart College.

With a live backing band and plenty of microphones and cameras, the Blackfriars 5/6/7 Choir pumped out a modified repertoire of tunes, ranging from hits from The Greatest Showman to a classic John Farnham Medley. Despite all the changes, our boys acted and sang with enthusiasm and professionalism.

We were also well represented by our Senior Vocal Group, and the duo talents of Harry and Will Catley who expertly played The Listener by Lachlan Davidson. Congratulations to all involved!
