Students and teachers managed to put up a 2 hour virtual Easter concert for public consumption.

The virtual concert commenced with a speech by Mr. Sammy Nakitare. He clarified the importance of the holiday and why AIS observed it.

“Easter season is important because this is the time we remember the death and resurrection of our Lord; it is through this that we gain eternal life” – Mr. Nakitare, Head of the English Department.

Students both in school and at home joined in the different facets of the concert through visual recordings. While AIS faculty members took charge to ensure each student on campus participated in the event, parents did their fair share of recording their children at home as they performed their dues.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_single_image media=”10957″ media_width_percent=”100″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”page-par-texts”]The virtual concert consisted of scripture verses, orchestral music, dance shows, and a skit visually depicting the motive behind the celebration.

Excellent student involvement
“Our students played a huge role in the concert production. We had a song written and composed by one of the students Tsemi Lawson (Song title: Forgiven). The easter play was scripted by Anna-Clarissa Arlyn Lawson and performed by her peers” – Ms. Elsie Srodah; Head of Drama and Performing Art[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”2/3″][vc_single_image media=”10960″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_font=”font-191649″ text_size=”h4″ text_weight=”400″ text_transform=”capitalize” text_height=”fontheight-100267″ text_space=”85″ text_color=”color-prif”]A visual from Tsemi Lawson’s music video “Forgiven” where she featured some of her peers as well[/vc_custom_heading][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”2/3″][vc_single_image media=”10961″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_font=”font-191649″ text_size=”h4″ text_weight=”400″ text_transform=”capitalize” text_height=”fontheight-100267″ text_space=”85″ text_color=”color-prif”]Middle school students re-enact the “Passion of Christ” crucifixion scene[/vc_custom_heading][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”2/3″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text el_class=”page-par-texts”]“Our goal was to draw attention to what Easter means–the death and resurrection of Christ.
