At the end of March 2020 Cheltenham Children’s Choir moved to Zoom each week, which was lots of fun! We do a quick ‘wake and shake’, then our vocal warm ups. Then on to learning a song or two – this term, our younger groups learnt a song from ‘Cats’ and even had a ‘Cats’-themed week, with ears, tails, facepaint and even some real cats on camera….

The Children’s Choir were set a project at the beginning of April, to make a video of ‘I Just Can’t Wait to be King’. This is one of our favourite songs this year and included ‘roars’! They were each allocated a line and WOW what a fantastic result. We had a movie night and dressed up for the movie premiere on Zoom – popcorn too. We hope you enjoy watching our ‘stay at home’ project….

Harmonise adapted brilliantly to rehearsals on Zoom, learning some wonderful harmonies and creating some fantastic projects. Here is our ‘Africa’ project…

We finished off the term with two wonderful Musical Theatre workshops, run by Ginny Burge. We learnt a song and dance each week (all in our own front rooms – no breakable objects were harmed…!) – and could do a performance by the end of each session. It was so much fun doing some movement as well as singing – thank you Ginny!

WELL DONE Children’s Choir – what amazing things you got up to last term!
