On Friday, 20th January 2012, during the last few periods, Cedar celebrated Chinese New Year with various splendid performances. The Hub was filled with cymbal crashes and drum beats as two lions danced around, ending their performance together with Mrs Ou Yang presenting blessings to the school.
After the mind-blowing lion dance performance, our international scholars from secondary 3 danced to SNSD’s “Gee” as well as “爱” (love), a mesmerising melody, with simple hand gestures conveying the message of the song.
One of the Secondary 2 students played a beautiful solo piece with a Chinese flute. The concert also included the Guzheng members who presented to us two fabulous pieces of music, which earned a huge applause from the Cedarians.
The new teachers also sang a Chinese New Year song and circled around the Hub, tossing the student body chocolate gold coins, which symbolizes prosperity. This completely heated the atmosphere up in the Hub.
The highlight of the concert was when the Modern Dancers danced to two
Korean songs, Miss A’s “Good-Bye baby” and Kim Hyun Joong’s “Lucky Guy”. They rocked the stage with an uproar of cheers from the audience.
All the performers and teachers poured their hearts and souls from the rehearsals to the day of
celebration to give us a fantastic concert. 2012’s Chinese New Year Celebration was definitely a memorable experience for all.
