On June 13, 2024, the German International School Dubai (DISD) transformed its school canteen into a musical paradise. Around 250 guests came to enjoy the summer concert, which took place under the Head of of the dedicated music department with Valentyna Halushko, Carlos Teixeira and Dr. Sammy Wafi.

The visitors were greeted in the foyer with a delicious cake sale by the 11th graders, which fueled the cheerful atmosphere right from the start. The varied program offered something for everyone: the second graders opened the evening with "Ich frag die Maus" by Mark Forster. The third grade enchanted the audience with songs from the movie "School of Magical Animals". The staff choir wowed the crowd with "Dubai Dubai" to the tune of "New York New York". The fifth classes rocked the stage with hits such as "Choirs" by Mark Forster, "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake and "Better When I'm Dancing" by Meghan Trainor. For the grand finale, all fifth classes performed "194 Countries" by Mark Forster together.

A special highlight was the performance of the school band, which got the crowd singing and dancing along to songs such as "Love on the Brain" by Rihanna and "Late Night Talking" by Harry Styles. The crowning glory of the evening was the joint performance of the staff choir and the principal Michael Lummel with the song "Dreaming". Here, too, the crowd danced along enthusiastically. There were also soap bubbles and beach balls that were thrown into the air.

The evening was a complete success and reflected a relaxed, cheerful summer atmosphere. Many thanks to everyone involved for their commitment and the unforgettable atmosphere. This summer evening will live long in the memory - a perfect mix of relaxation, good humor and musical variety.
