Feedback:
鈥淓ach year, I think we can hear and see choirs聽developing in聽confidence and performance skills.聽It’s聽a聽really good聽annual聽goal, and inspires our choirs to grow鈥� 聽
鈥淚 love that our students are able to experience the聽rollercoaster聽of a performance – from nervousness, worrying, rehearsing and the pride and enthusiasm afterwards, this聽opportunity聽has allowed many of our students who normally wouldn’t have this opportunity a chance to experience something remarkable鈥�
鈥淪tudents聽and parents loved it.聽One of our students sang all the way home in the bus from sound check, and sung聽their聽heart out last night鈥�
“Oh!聽It was so awesome!鈥澛�(Year聽2 performer)
