Nelson West Schools' Music Festival

The four schools west of the city area, Enner Glynn, Nayland, Stoke and Tahunanui, combined forces for their annual music festival in the Nayland College Hall recently. The major work of the festival was "The Midnight Thief", a story in song and action of the mysterious theft of a farmer's corn in Mexico and how mercy had its rewards. The three pix Above were taken from this work.
