Following the performances, the schools with the best instrumental, choral speech or drama, dance, and creative carol, as well as the finest rendition of the test piece, will be announced. This year’s benchmark to measure the musical ability of the choirs was “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” a traditional Christmas hymn that proclaims the good news of the Saviour’s birth.
“We are excited to invite the public to join us for the grand finale of the Primary Schools Christmas Festival,” said Dexter Bacchus, Education Officer for Music in the Ministry of Education.
The big finale of the Primary Schools Christmas Festival promises to be a happy occasion, and the Ministry of Education hopes to see everyone there.
