For the first time in a number of years, MAGS will return to compete at the prestigious high school choral competition, the Big Sing, held at the Auckland Town Hall on Monday and Tuesday, 12-13 June.
Four MAGS choirs will take the stage over the two days, under the guidance of Choir Master Mr Christian Malietoa-Brown. A dress rehearsal in the FW Gamble Hall on Saturday, 10 June, was well attended by families, staff and student supporters. Headmaster Mr Patrick Drumm said it was remarkable how far the choirs had come in only nine months since they were established. In the long term the aim was for MAGS to regain a place among the top 10 choral schools in the country.
