Festive roar !

Montfortians eager to welcome the Lunar Year of the Tiger, had worked hard to put up a commendable performance on the 12th of February 2010. The Wushu tigers purred and roared into the lives of the Montfortian audience, who received enthusiastically, the performance that was put up by the prancing Montfortian Tigers.

Following next, The CLDDS performers made an entrance to the stage on stilts! It was an eye-catching Cowboy-themed Western dance that was put up to the catchy and popular Jay Chou song. It garnered quite a number of singers from amongst the audience. Jay Chou would have been pleased!

The importance of Reunion Dinners was transmitted to the young audience in a play put up by the ELDDS members. The character of Spicy Grandma enacted skilfully by Kenny Yaw of 4E4, conveyed the message that despite the generation gap, Chinese New Year is a significant cultural event.

A scintillating performance by Montfort's own magician, Anthony Tan of 4E2 had everyone spellbound for that 10 minutes. His bag of tricks included colourful hankerchiefs, and hot strings.

To add a multicultural flavour to the days event, TLDDS took the stage by storm with a Bollywood-inspired energetic dance. Singer Sai from Secondary 2AA gave a melodious rendition of a popular Tamil song, and despite many Montfortians not being able to understand the language, they enjoyed the song.

The event was a success. Students returned to their classes, and lessons resumed.
