Students SENIOR MUSICAL

SENIORS’ SIX YEARS OF MUSICALS

Being a part of Somerset’s Senior Musical for six years now has been a privilege and such an experience. Starting as a 12-year old in Year 7 looking up to the ‘big kids’, the journey that the Senior Musical has taken me has allowed me to embrace the different characters in all of these different worlds. However, beyond all the shows, rehearsals and costumes, being a part of the musicals has really been a lifelong memory where I have built relationships and friends that I will forever cherish. Kevin Song Over my high schooling years being a part of the Senior School Musical was a true highlight of every year and something I always looked forward to. Not only have I learnt a lot about performing on a stage over these years, but I also made many relationships both with students and staff. I have loved being able to watch the kids younger than me grow up and build a strong love for performing, just like I did. I am extremely grateful for both Mrs Roberts and Mrs D’Arcy for everything they taught me throughout the years, and I thank them for all their efforts into making every musical an experience I’ll cherish forever.

My musical journey over the past six years has equipped me with skills, friendships and memories that will last me a lifetime. From mastering a four-corner-weave, to awkwardly knocking a microphone stand into the orchestra pit, to even witnessing Ziggy butcher the Irish jive, there truly has never been a dull moment. However, the past six years couldn’t have been possible without the guidance of Mrs Roberts and Mrs D’Arcy. I am forever thankful and grateful for their mentorship throughout this experience, as it has allowed me to discover my passion for musical theatre that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Bella Harris As soon as my Senior School journey began, I couldn’t wait to be a part of the Senior School Musical, and perform with the big kids. Having moved through the grades, and become one of the big kids, when I look back on my Musical experiences, I can easily say it was a highlight of every year. Being part of the cast every year, and the feeling of a tight knit team, always made me feel so at home. Not only the thrill of the performance itself, but the jokes, people, musical camp, and the opportunity to see the process of a show being pieced together, are the reasons why I’ve enjoyed every musical so immensely each year. From taking home my first few lines in 2014, and reading them 20 times over to make sure they were perfect, I’ve been just as excited to be in each new musical every year, and I’m so grateful to Mrs Roberts, Ms Flynn, Mrs D’Arcy and Mrs Rowe for allowing us students such a wonderful opportunity each year.
