Mrs Barry Gallardo as carol singers with Madame Saulnier as the bear, Miss Pozo as the rabbit, fabulously accompanied by Mrs Gilmartin on the piano.
As Belvedere gives a vast amount of money to different charities, it was decided that a £1 donation to watch the teachers perform would create enough money for Teenage Cancer Trust, which is a worthwhile charity. Overall we raised around £800. The Staff Talent Show was extremely entertaining with jokes often told by Mr Dermott McGarry and nice comments told by the 3 judges Pat, Mrs Nalis, Mrs Jones and dare I say, Dr Davis. All the groups that performed were very amusing and the whole afternoon was extremely enjoyable. The Forget-me-nots performed first with perfectly choreographed moves which made them look like professionals. TJ Hughes recreated the John Lewis Christmas advert with Mr McGovern and
The Belvidere Road Nativity put on a different type of act with the teachers going back to their childhoods to put on a humorous performance of the nativity. The Weekdays started their act with a surprise as it began with Mrs Coleman singing opera and shocked us with modern dancing and singing.
and a diverse range of instruments including Mr Kennedy on guitar, Mr Lucas on bass, Mr O’Keeffe on vocals and Mr Caulfield on guitar. The winning act was Beast 17 which consisted of Mr Mason, Mr Hill and Mr O’Keeffe. Their performance was filled with singing and got the crowd on their feet. Well done all the teachers that were involved! It was an extremely pleasing and exciting day that will be remembered for a long time. Rebecca Morris and Maryam Islam, Year 8.
Beast 17, which was a recreation of 90’s band East 17, performed an entertaining show with plenty of balloons that got the crowd excited. Minus 1D had a humorous music video playing in the background which complimented their singing. Lastly the Staff Band was a great way to end the show as it was filled with singing
