The melodic morning began at the reception hall of Mission Hospital with a small concert by the 80+ students, who then greeted patients in some of the wards. The next stop on the field trip was at Bangkok Hospital Phuket, where smiling patients, parents and staffs gathered around for the show.
Among the classics performed include “A little town in Bethleham”; “Ding dong merrily on high”; “Away in a manger”; “God rest ye merry gentlemen”; “We three kings”; “Deck the halls” and “We wish you a merry Christmas”.
“We’ve been rehearsing these songs for about four weeks now. The kids have been working very hard. Most of the kids know many of the songs already,” said KIS Music Department head, Mr Davidson.
“We were joined by our new piano teacher Ms Jida, as well as new guitar teacher Mr Dennis, and the Key Stage 2 teachers also deserve credit to make this happen,” added Mr Davidson. The performances were followed by an X’mas show at KIS’s Kathu Campus the following day.
