GISS Calypso Show

At Gros Islet Secondary School, Mr C.Y. Jeon created a structure where we prepare our students a term before national competition. This model is all about creating or hosting our own events that is similar to the national event a term before. Other schools have been encouraged to follow this model.

National Calypso Competition is in term 3 which means our own school calypso show is on term 2. This time around, social studies department headed by Ms Alexander is working together with us to make this event happen. So far we have 5 calypsos and 1 power soca almost complete. We are working on 1 more power soca and 2 groovy soca. Be prepared as we are about to make you cry, laugh and challenge your thinking with our sweet melodies and strong lyrics.

Gros Islet Secondary ON Fire

Gros Islet Secondary School is becoming the talk of the town. We have made it to finals in every music competition so far this year and our performances is being described as unique, different and extraordinary by many. 

 

Finals of National solo competition took place Tuesday 26th February 2014. This year's theme was to sing songs from 80 / 90s. Whitney Abisque, one of our choir member represented the school in this year's solo competition. For reminder, she placed 2nd in our G factor.

Whitney sang "I have nothing" by Whitney Houston and oh boy, she silenced the critique with her complete performance. As one of students from other school said, "I felt as if I was dreaming".

Congratulations to Whitney for all the hard work and efforts she put towards this competition.

 

Our music groups are active and already performed at various functions this term, we welcome the new group "marching band" to the music department. Therefore we now have 6 groups for students to join; choir, live band, steel pan, orchestra, singers and marching band.
