An impressive array of students performed in the Hanover High School auditorium for the annual Mega Concert. This combines band, orchestra and chorus in a single venue.
The introduction with the classic Charles Trenet “Beyond the Sea” was nicely done by the Footnotes. The string orchestra did a good job with Amazing Grace. The Lord of the Rings was heavy on the percussion, but also performed well. The senior soloists sang well for “On and On”, followed by a fun “What I Like About You”. For “Blue Moon”, singer Lillian was unfortunately drowned out by the band which was a shame as she has a great voice. The chorus songs were fine – Hercules was a big long. The Hilights version of the Beyoncé Medley was an unfortunate choice.
The final band pieces were nicely paced and rousing, and closed the concert off nicely.
