On Monday 23rd of May, 50 children from our junior choir and chamber choir went to the O2 Arena to take part in the Young Voices concert. We were joined by children from 181 schools - more than 8000 school children in total. Loads of parents came to support us and enjoy what was a truly memorable concert.
It took us a long time to get there, but it was worth the wait. All of the other schools sang beautifully, with lots of harmony. We were treated to singing and dancing performances by the Beatbox Collective, MC Grammar, Urban Strides dancers and the amazing singer Natalie Williams. We felt excited, very happy, "the happiest I've ever been in my life", amazed and stunned. It was very satisfying! You can see in the photos and video just how much fun we had. Make sure you scroll all of the way to the bottom to check out our singing and dancing, and us watching some amazing performers.
