Brass Woodwind Orchestra

It has been more than a year since we started our own brass woodwind orchestra. I would like to take this moment to thank Mr Gregory Piper for assisting us to start this initiative and bravo to all the members of this orchestra for the extra effort and sacrifices they have made. Keep up the great work.

Performance Workshop for G factor semi finalist

Here are some photos of performance workshop held by Ms Nakita John for our G Factor Finalists.

Performance at Youth Symposium

Our school was asked to perform national anthem at youth symposium hosted by ministry of health in collaboration with ministry of education & ministry of youth development. We know it is just an anthem at the ceremony but it is the beginning of the recognition we are receiving of all the effort.  We are grateful for this opportunity. Our mission was to perform and sing national anthem,  requests made for vocals accompanied by a steel pan. We have Merkella Edward and Noah Avril on voice accompanied by Jovanny Charlery on tenor pan.

G factor first round review

On Friday 20th September 2013, we successfully hosted our annual trade mark "G Factor". The competition demonstrated passion, dedication and discipline participants developed through the first month of this academic year. There was a definite team spirit and support amongst participants, teachers and most importantly the students. This marks music department's effort to produce 2 of its truly 100% Gros Islet Secondary School Product; the legendary music room and one if a kind G Factor. This round, there were 16 participants. All gave their best but only 12 could advance to next round. It was a real tough decision for judges due to extreme performance displayed by students who usually perform well and others who just come out and surprise everyone. Job well done to all students who took part and round of applause to our students who witnessed this history in making for being an awesome audience. The list of students who made it to next round will be posted soon, for now enough talking. Have a look at some of our photos. Special thanks to our professional photographer,  Mr Dorville.
