YOUNG VOICES

Young Voices 2006

Minchinhampton School took 49 children to the Young Voices concert in the National Indoor Arena at Birmingham on 30th November.
The children had been learning carols and songs during the Autumn Term, and at Birmingham joined 6,500 other children from all over the Midlands. The afternoon was spent in rehearsals, led by David Lawrence, and the concert was watched by an audience of over 6,000.
The Young Voices concerts offer children a tremendous experience of working with live bands, solo singers and experienced musicians.
The atmosphere during the concert has to be experienced to be understood - the sound of 6,500 children singing such songs as Silent Night, a disco medley, songs from the shows and carols such as Come, children join to sing, is something which cannot be expressed in words - you need to be there to know how it feels!!
