46 BSB Entries for Global Campus Performing Arts Competition

Ladies and Gentlemen, BSB students present amazing videos for the Nord Anglia Global Campus Performing Arts competition!

Our BSB students have gone above and beyond expectations – 37 students submitted 46 performances for the Performing Arts competition, and we have entries in all three categories – Music, Drama and Dance. With submissions from Y2 to Y12, with such a variety in creativity and instruments, the only word that comes to mind is “WOW!” Currently their entries are being judged by Juilliard guest artists, and the winners of this worldwide competition will be announced in June. It is a lot of hard work to prepare performances and also requires bravery and confidence to send a video to a judging panel as well as have NAE families from all over the world view their work.

Several students submitted more than one performance, and special recognition goes to Ayisa Yao in Year 7 who has the school record for submitting 4 entries - violin, piano, voice and dance! These students also submitted two entries: Christopher Kicker, Jeina Anada, Elaine Van Der Chijs, Florentina Kicker, Warren Jang, James Thorp and Lina Patuschka. Also of note, Alex Liu and David Chen in Y12 provided original music compositions to Global Campus for the Dance competition. Students had to create choreography to their music, and we had several BSB students who danced to their music – what a special collaboration!

I must extend a personal thank you to all the families who supported their child and worked very hard despite technological challenges to upload and submit the videos. We are very proud of all of our students and want the NAE world to see them too! Please join me in congratulating all of our students who entered this competition, and take some time to watch their videos. Enjoy the show!

Y3: Albert Zhang

Y5: Minchae Kang

Y10: Lina Patuschka

Thanks,
