Story Scripts

Each item this year is a story. For each story a choir member will tell the audience about the story. Here are a couple of examples.


Great works of art are not completed in a day. And so it is with us. It takes time to fit all the little pieces together  to make us complete and we do this as we grow. Jessie J believes that those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind because they take us the way we are. We are all working on our very own masterpiece.

When we daydream, we all go to our happy place, where dreams come true just by wishing on a star. In the back of our minds we all have our own wonderful world. It might be in a forest full of butterflies, in a world of candyfloss or perhaps somewhere over the rainbow.


Here is the intro for Gold.
Hawthorndene:
In the beginning, a bridge was built. At one end of the bridge, a large group of children began to sing. The song had a catchy vibe to it.
South Hornby:
A small group of children at the other end heard the song and began to sing along. Soon the groups became one in the middle of the bridge.
Hawthorndene:
The bridge is known as Music Count Us In. It was built out of hope.
South Hornby:
It was built to carry the dreams of these young people, to come together and share a love of music.

Hawthorndene and South Hornby: What we’ve got is GOLD.

Here is our "raw footage " of Heroes. We have a lot of practicing to do so it will be better.

Bridge Over Troubled Water Choreography.


Here are the moves we have come up with. We expect the pairs to be further apart so extended arms will not interfere with others. We hope to perform this with our Aussie billets.

Our first Performance

The South Hornby Storytellers' First Performance

On Thursday 22nd of May 2015 The South Hornby Storytellers had their first performance at the Hornby Library!
We sang three songs, Look What They've Done to My Song, Georgy Girl and Hareruia.
Nadia is our Storyteller.  We all love to sing stories.





Hi my name is Nadia,
I am the South Hornby Storyteller's Deputy Leader.
It is my job to tell the audience what the next song is going to be about. I have to put a lot of drama into what I am saying, I also have to put a lot of practise into my speeches. Here is an example of one of my speeches. This one is for Georgy Girl.

"Imagine if you will, a sad and lonely girl with no friends, we'll call her Georgy cause that was her name. Now Judith Durham and her Aussie friends in the Seekers told this inspirational story about Georgy. Georgy was a very shy girl who was afraid of people getting to know her, she was often seen to be window shopping for friends but never had the courage to start a friendship. However Judith believed in Georgy and knew that if she only expressed the love she had inside of her, her life would change."

I enjoy doing my speeches because I get to do drama with it. Drama is something that I don't get to do very much.
