On Thursday 2nd February, Fishergate Choir travelled to Manchester Arena to take part in Young Voices, the biggest choir concert in the world. When we first arrived the arena looked pretty empty and we were all amazed by the size of it! It soon filled with other schools and we spent the afternoon practising both songs and dance moves (including time to perfect our air guitar for the Rock Medley!). Andy from Urban Strides also kept us entertained with his humour and infectious enthusiasm for dance. We were all looking forward to the dance battle with our parents later in the evening! We stopped for tea, had time to chat with friends and even get a bit of fresh air as it was very hot and stuffy in the arena! We were all looking forward to the evening ahead…….

We are on the coach and on our way, and some of the children are still singing! Our lovely driver says that we should be back on time at about 11pm. We will update you here if that changes!

All the staff are very proud of the Fishergate children who have shown exemplary behaviour and a great attitude all day.

And the band are just heading onto the stage!
