She said the students rehearsing for the Vocal Spectacular will be competing at the annual two-day Big Sing New Zealand Choral Federation Secondary Schools Choir Festival at the Micheal Fowler Centre in the capital from Wedenesday, June 8.
«The students in the choirs are rehearsing for the Big Sing in a few weeks so this is a chance to get on stage beforehand and see what other Masterton colleges are doing as well.»

The combined concert comes ahead of a series of lunchtime concerts at WaiCol spotlighting 15 acts to help celebrate New Zealand Music Month. The concerts will run Monday to Wednesday and will feature «everything from Bollywood dancing, to a Samoan group, to original compositions, to the school jazz band».
«Each item will have a New Zealand theme.
«The school has always done something for New Zealand Music Month but this time we thought we’d broaden things out and encompass the multi-cultural aspects of the school as well. We’re hoping that this will grow and will be even more inclusive, and have food and all sorts of things.»
