"ABBACADABRA" (an account)

We began with Arrival, played by the recently formed string group (2 violas playong the theme - yeah!).
We continued with Fernando, from the woodwind group (with guest violas - those violas were all over the show, man!)
We had 2 duets from Mina and Tui - Chiquitita and I Know Him So Well (the latter not strictly ABBA, but clearly Andersson/Ulvaeus).
An energetic, fun romp from Mrs Hope and Ms Walker on "Honey, Honey" (which clearly had an impact on our year 9 students, who are working on a version with congas).
Mrs Styra brought the house down with her version of "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight)", with a member of the audience getting up and boogying up towards her towards the end (wonder who...)
Jazz Band chirped through "The Winner Takes it All".
Super Twelve added class with "I Have a Dream " and "Lay All Your Love on Me".
SMT - I Do I Do etc. ....all FIVE smt! Great!
Staff choir, knowing me, knowing you (with kazoos).
Finale - Thank You For the Music (YT with wig and kimono), followed by Dancing Queen (everyone up and dancing).
The evening was great fun - if you weren't there, you missed a GOOD ONE!!
