Young Voices Concert.
On Friday 27th January, our Young Voices Choir set off for Birmingham to perform in a concert alongside 6,000 other children from all over the country. We have been rehearsing every week since October and everyone has worked incredibly hard to learn ten different songs.
We were all taken aback when we entered Resorts World Arena – would our voices fill this enormous space? However, as all the other schools came in, and we started our rehearsal we had nothing to worry about: the sound was phenomenal!
Once the rehearsal was over, we ate our tea and waited for our audience to arrive. We were a mix of nerves and excitement, but as soon as the concert began, we loved every moment! We had a fabulous time singing with all the other school choirs, and enjoyed watching some amazing acts including Urban Strides, Beatbox Collective, Anna Phoebe and Heather Small!
It was a fantastic experience for us all, the atmosphere in the arena was electric and it will be a day we all said we will never forget!
We are so proud of the children who came – they showed exemplary behaviour throughout the entire day. Here is what some of the children thought about the experience:
“I couldn`t believe how many people were there! It was so huge!”
“I loved all the torches in the night. It was like we were in a famous rock band!”
“The beat boxers were amazing and inspired me.”
“I was so excited to see Andy, who taught us the dance moves, in real life.”
“The singing was so loud, and I loved seeing all the other schools everywhere. “
Well done to all of you in the choir! You are all stars!
WOW!!!!
