A Spectacular Feature

As many would know seven beautiful Island girls have been chosen to perform at the School Spectacular 2012, Sydney Entertainment Centre, in mid November.  There have been a number of fund raising ventures but last Saturday night saw a show of such professionalism that it can be viewed anywhere in the world.  Monica Menzies Forsyth ~ who has already made a great name for herself in organising spectacular shows ~ and obviously a whole gang of helpers, fascinated those of us who were lucky enough to attend FEATURED.

The evening began at 6.30pm with delicious Island fish and chips, and then a catwalk of surprises.  Principally it showcased the wedding dresses that are carefully stored on Norfolk in rooms and cupboards, by past brides.  They ranged from Mariah Heaps' wedding dress from 1900 through to Rebel Greenwood's wedding dress from last year.  Monica had placed the dresses in categories such as Classic, Meringue, Big Gypsy Wedding and others, with the junior Island dancers breaking each segment.

Again, those attending were also able to watch the Baunti Dancers, the seven girls who will be going offshore to perform. The girls are world class in cultural entertainment and all present were in awe of their performances. The professionalism, the smiles, the costumes.

My camera (not me) wasn't up to scratch in keeping up but these few photos will surely give you a taste of the excitement of the evening. It was a fantastic night and my only negative is that they didn't show it two nights running. Oh come on Monica! Who needs to sleep! Huge well done to all of you.
