We were absolutely delighted to be invited to this years Big Sing at the Regis high school. It has been over two years since we have all been able to be together, and this Year it was incredibly clear how much everyone, children and teachers needed this. The talent from TRS school singers along with Felpham high schools students was very high. We were particularly blown away by a soloist named Willow singing two beautiful songs accompanying herself on piano. The children said “she gave them goosebumps.” We then began to sing our group school songs that we had been set, the theme of this years. It sing was ‘The Lion King’ all schools were set songs to learn in only 3 weeks, ours being “ Be Prepared” a song sung by Scar in the film. The children found this song quite hard to sing considering it’s more of a song/monologue but they managed to be off lyrics and sung beautifully and did Barton’s proud. Next up they were performing their solo class song, I decided that I would of course challenge them again and they sung a very tricky number from Matilda the Musical entitled ‘School song’ The children absolutely SMASHED IT! So many teachers and children complimented the children on how hard a song it was and how impressed they were with how it was executed. After a brief lunch break we joined for our final group song of the day ‘Circle of life’ this was a beautiful way to finish off the day and really made us all feel like one big team. Ash class had a wonderful day and sung their hearts out, we cannot wait to be back next Year and look forward to next Years theme.
