The Children’s Mash Competitions continued yesterday with Morgan’s Learning Centre taking home the winning trophy for their cover of Guyana’s national songs in the Choir segment and the Sophia Special School being the only competitor in the jingle competition.
The school choir which consisted of 25, was accompanied by an acoustic guitarist which added a smooth flow to their performance.
However, they were not the only show stoppers in the competition. The schools who competed against MLC were just as talented and creative when it came to their performances, such schools were Charlestown Secondary, Lodge Secondary, who opened the choir segment, and St. Joseph High School, who were very energetic when they performed folk songs and national songs while being accompanied by a Congo drum.
A crowd of students and teachers were also entertained by St John’s College, who placed second with their cover of “To Serve My Country” by George Noel and “I am a Guyanese” by Guyanese singer/songwriter Adrian Dutchin and East Ruimveldt Secondary, the school that came in third with their cover of Courtney Noel’s patriotic soca song “Arrow Head”.
The competition was brought to a close with the final performance from the Sophia Special School for the Jingle segment of the competition. The Sophia Special School was also the winner of the jingle competition because the other competing schools did not make an appearance, leaving the judges no choice but to present the winning trophy to the talented young man, Shurlon Stephen, who performed for the school.
