• Young Voices 2024

  Mon 05 Feb 2024 Mrs Sheehan

  On Thursday 1st February we took 32 children to Wembley Arena to take part in a Young Voices concert.  The children had been learning all the songs since they started back at school last September.  On the day we took the train from Ruislip Manor to Wembley Park and made our way to Zizzi for our lunch.  The children were very excited however they were very well behaved in the restaurant.  After lunch we made our way to the Arena and found our seats.  Rehearsals began at 2pm and we practised we the very talented conductor David Lawrence all afternoon.  The doors opened at 6pm and the parents started arriving for the concert which started at 7pm.  Everything went to plan and it was a very magical atmosphere.  The children, staff and all our parents watching had a thoroughly enjoyable time

  On Monday 6th February the choir once again took part in the Young Voices concert at Wembley Arena.  They had been busy rehearsing since last October practising a selection of songs and medleys.  On the day we travelled by train to Wembley, we had lunch at the Global Buffet restaurant which the children thoroughly enjoyed!  We then arrived at the arena in time for the afternoon rehearsal.  The children were really excited and it was a fantastic experience.  For the evening show parents came and watched and joined in with the dancing from Urban Strides, also performing were the Beat Box Collective, violinist Anna Phoebe and the very talented Heather Small with whom the children sang her famous song "Proud".
