MFL Karaoke

Last week students competed in the annual MFL (Modern Foreign Languages) Department Karaoke Competition. Modern Foreign Languages at St Bart’s is not just about learning new languages but also about students developing Cultural Capital, broadening their knowledge of different countries and understanding more about other cultures, lifestyles and people. Students were challenged to submit a group or solo karaoke performance in a foreign language. Group Finalists were then invited to perform in the school hall to an audience. As always, it was a fun and joyous occasion, judged this year by Ms Maunders from the Music department.

Firstly Summer Wrzesinski was awarded her trophy as winner of the solo competition. Her winning recording was of her singing the traditional Christmas carol “Stille Nacht” in German.

Then the five groups that had made it through to the final performed as follows:

10C German singing was ist dein Lieblingsfach?

8S Gm singing Augen auf!

7C2 singing on écrit sur les murs

7P2 singing  Körperteil Blues

Y12 Meghan and Dilan singing Barbaras Rhababerbar

As Ms Maunders pointed out in her judgement remarks, the standard of the competition was very high and has moved on considerably from its early days. This year’s competition was closely fought but in the end the trophy was awarded to 7C2 for their very impressive rendition of “on écrit sur les murs“. The class were coached by Mrs Blakely and helped with choreography by Mrs Clare.

The five songs performed were all very different and much effort had gone into learning the words and thinking through the performances. Congratulations to 7C2 and thank you to all who entered the competition.
