Young Voices 2017

February 24, 2017
On the 20th of January 2017, Hacton Performing Arts club were given the opportunity to show their talent and sing their hearts out at the O2 Arena in London. After 4 months of committed rehearsals, our excited pupils were finally ready to embark on their adventure.

On their way to North Greenwich by train, the tuneful children entertained the locals with snippets from the songs they had been learning. Once at the arena everyone found their seats and began the rehearsal. Our awe struck pupils looked around at the thousands of other children from other schools who were singing alongside them. After rehearsals it was time for a packed lunch and a stretch. Butterflies filled our pupils' tummies as they watched the crowds of spectators pour into the arena.

At last it was time to sing! The songs were broken up with performances from famous artists of different styles and genres, including a street dance team and beatboxing crew.  Our super singers sang each song with energy, enthusiasm and emotion.

Finally, the show came to an end and the children from Performing Arts club made their way through the busy area to reunite with family and friends.

After such a busy and exciting day, our pupils slept soundly as they dreamt of their evening in the spotlight.
