Yesterday students and staff were thrilled by the musical performances in the College Library for the Independence influenced theme, 'As Bajan as..."
The College Choir, under the direction of Mrs Burke (General & Continuing Education), performed creditably. A favourite feature at graduations and other college events, the choir is made up of students and staff, but is always on the lookout for new members to swell its ranks.
Ms Faith Callender rendered the Cheryl Hackett song, "Beautiful and Unspoilt" and just like the name, her voice is similarly styled. In her a capella version, Faith had the audience clapping and singing along and this segued into the afternoon's highlight performance by Sing Out Barbados! This well known folk group has been gracing stages at home and abroad for many years (currently they are celebrating 40 years) so we were blessed to receive them. Always spirited and engaging, the group performed medleys of our favourite local folk songs; their joyful rendition had the walls of the library "breaking down."
Alas, the Gathering is over till next year, but as one first year student wondered, "Couldn't you do something this Christmas?"
