In The Navy

In The Navy

An eventful 40 minutes in the life of Rangitikei College...

A band from the Navy presented themselves at the school hall at around 11 am this morning. The band consisted itself of many different instruments including Xylophone, Drums, Guitar and an interesting looking hose object that was played rather well by "Ollie". They played many genres including classical, pop and their title song, "In The Navy".

They encouraged students to cheer and dance and a few teachers joined in by themselves (Nice job Mr Free!). Spot prizes were awarded for dancing.

As the show neared its end, it was to time to embarass some teachers. Mr Tong and Miss Osgood were picked and much to the amusement of the students, they were asked to play an insrument each and repeat a tune that had been played beforehand as an example. Miss Osgood got the easier, but rather unusual looking instrument and Mr Tong had to play the Trombone. It was very entertaining to watch Mr Tong "play" and see Miss Osgood glide through the song with as much ease as could be expected.

At the finishing of the show, the school was told about the different jobs that you could do in the Navy and about a local student who had joined recently. They left us with a breathtaking rendition of "In The Navy" and the students enjoyed themselves immensely.

Thank you to the Navy and everyone who danced and cheered and had a good time.
