Signing performance
A TEN-student signing choir from Mareeba will be making their way to Brisbane in July to showcase their talents at one of the largest state school performative events in the country.
The students from Mareeba State School and Mareeba State high School will head down south to perform at the Creative Generation – State Schools Onstage (CGEN) arena spectacular at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 17-19 July.
Students performing include, from Mareeba State School, Mae Barsley, Gracyn Mahoney, Imogen McLennan, Liana Searle, and Claire Strahan.
Students from Mareeba State High School include Niah Abdalla-Caamano, Alexander Athornkit, Lillian Gale, Harrison Mahoney, and Lael Owens.
This will be the seventh year Mareeba students have participated in the event, and they will be among over 2,000 other students who will also be performing.
The students will perform ‘Go the Distance’ – from Disney’s ‘Hercules’ film, ‘Roar’ – by Katy Perry, and a medley of ‘I’ve Got the Music in Me’ and ‘All Things Just Keep Getting Better’.
The young choir is also reaching out to the local community for donations to help pay for travel expenses. To help these students, contact Mareeba State School on 4092 8100.
