Hacton Choir at Young Voices 2013

January 30, 2013
Members of the Key Stage 2 Choir had a fantastic time at the Young Voices concert on Monday. It was an extremely long day for the children and grown-ups: they arrived at the O2 at 1.30, had rehearsals with the principal conductor from 2.30-5.00 and then waited two hours for showtime.

The show began with a bang and there was no stopping the Hacton Choir who sang at the tops of their voices and boogied through the night. They accompanied the African Children's Choir, provided backing vocals for Britain’s Got Talent star Connie Talbot and danced with the Urban Strides Street Dance Group. There was audience participation too as, cheered on by the children, musician Randolph Matthews had dads beating their chests and mums 'ooh la la-ing'.

The concert finished at 9.15 and all involved were buzzing throughout the train journey home - although the much needed sweets may have played their part! Despite being sleepy, the vast majority of children made it to school on time the following day.

Miss Smith said, "A massive well done to the choir who worked their socks off to prepare for the concert. Their hard work, dedication and enthusiasm really paid off. Thank you also to Mrs McDonach for helping with choir practice and for spending the day with us, and to Mrs Grant for her help supervising the children and her impressive dancing throughout the event! Finally thank you to parents for your support. Roll on Young Voices 2014!"
