Fengxian Campus G6: Music, Right Around the Corner

November 10, 2026

Autumn is settling in, yet lunchtime on campus remains bright and lively. At noon on October 29, music rose from the Grade 6 piano corner, and the Fengxian Campus’s first-ever Flash Mob began in a space familiar to every student and teacher. Grade 1 students and teachers, as well as Grade 6 students and faculty members, gathered from every direction, and a crowd quickly formed around the piano, turning it into an open and welcoming stage. Music and dance intertwined over the lunch hour, with songs, dance steps and applause echoing one another, and a relaxed, vibrant energy quietly spread across campus. Cassie from Class 6-1 took the stage with confidence and composure, opening the show with a natural and graceful hosting style, and this musical gathering, planned and organized by the Grade 6 ASB students, officially got under way.


The ballet piece “Little Cupid” opened the show. Charlotte and Angela from Class 6-1 are both members of the Fengxian Campus’s first cohort of boarders. In their spare time during evening boarding hours, the two choreographed the dance together and rehearsed their moves again and again, carrying the chemistry built through daily life onto the stage. As the music began, they danced with fluid, well-coordinated movements, and their poised performance quickly drew the audience in. The lively music and graceful steps matched the afternoon sunshine, and a bright, warm atmosphere gradually spread across campus.


Next, Emily from Class 6-1 sang the classic song “Five Hundred Miles.” As soon as the familiar melody began, teachers and students naturally waved their arms to the rhythm. While singing, Emily reached out to the Grade 1 students in the front row, and the children responded to the music in their own ways. In that moment, the distance between stage and audience melted away. Everyone stepped beyond the roles of performer and spectator, immersed in the music together and sharing a vivid, joyful lunchtime.


Jessie from Class 6-1 performed the piano solo “The Bounce,” bringing a completely different musical color to the scene. Over its dynamic, energetic melody, the atmosphere around the piano fell suddenly quiet, then shifted again with every rise and fall of the music. Athena from Class 6-1 followed with a guitar rendition of “Seaside Street,” its fresh tones flowing gently as the relaxed melody softly echoed through the crowd.


Then the strains of “Harry Potter Melody” began, with Jocelyne from Class 6-2 and Emily from Class 6-1 performing it on violin and cello respectively. The two distinct timbres answered and interwove with each other, giving the familiar theme richer layers. The Grade 1 children sat quietly absorbed in the crowd, while the Grade 6 students, listening to the well-known tune, truly felt the vivid power that only live performance can bring.


Finally, Charles from Class 6-2 sat down at the piano and closed the flash mob with “Für Elise.” The familiar melody flowed slowly, bringing this short but rich lunchtime stage to a natural close. From dance and song to piano, guitar and strings, different art forms unfolded one after another over the lunch hour, and students’ interests, talents and personalities were seen and shared on this open and welcoming campus stage.


Behind the wonderful performances were the ASB students who took the initiative to plan and coordinate the event. Cassie hosted the entire show, while Avril, Charlotte, Athena, Jessie and others worked together on performer outreach, program design and on-site coordination. From proposing the idea and contacting performers to finalizing the lineup and organizing the event, they turned an initial idea into a complete campus event, showing initiative, responsibility and organizational skill through real teamwork.


For the Fengxian Campus’s first Grade 6 students, activities like this deepen their bond with their new school. Classes give them knowledge, boarding life brings longer-lasting companionship, and rich activities give their interests, creativity and individuality room to be expressed. When students are willing to bring their own ideas into campus life and invite others to join in, they are no longer just experiencing school life but beginning to create it. The melodies at the piano, the interactions among the crowd, and the many efforts students have carried out together are gradually coming together as a warm, open and vibrant campus culture at Fengxian Campus.
