Royal Albert Hall - Sunday 16^th November 2008

On Sunday 16th November 2008. Some of Kings Road Choir, went to London to sing at the Royal Albert Hall. We all Gathered in the Small Hall, at around 7:30 - 7:45 to get ready to set of. We got on the coach at about 8:05. After we got on the coach we waved our goodbyes and set of to London. It took approximately 2 hours to get there but it was worth it.

When we arrived at the Royal Albert Hall we had to wait a little while so we had our mornng snack.

When we were aloud to enter the Royal Albert Hall, we got taken to our dressing room to put our stuff down.

Then, we were wizzed of to to our first rehearsal. After our 1 ^1/2 rehearsal we had our lunch. But then again we were wizzed of for another rehearsal! for around 2 hours. we went over a couple of songs. But yet again we had ANOTHER break for another 1 ^1/2  and then wizzed back again for our FINAL rehearsal.

But then the time came for our real preformance at 6:30pm. It was AMAZING. Esspecially when we done the mexican wave. We were also recorded for a perfessional DVD for parents to buy. It went by so quickly. But it was worth it.

All the effort put in the singing showed on the way home. Everyone slowly drifted to sleep - well apart from Megan and jade who were still wide awake :-) - It was an amazing oppertunity.

The best part was when we found out who our host was ... It was Sid of off Cbbies. he was so funny!

Also when we found that Lara's design went on the t-shirt. WELL DONE !

THANK YOU to Mrs Fuke who chose me to go and represent the school. And Mr Furness, Mr Kyriarco and also Mrs Woolmer, for taking up there own time just to come and see us sing.

THANK YOU! :-)

Yesterday on Sunday, Kings Road Choir went to the Royal Albert Hall in London! It was an amazing experience! first of all we went into our dressing rooms and after that we went for our first rehearsal in the Albert Hall it was the best! Later on after we had had our Lunch and Tea we changed into our t-shirts which had a lovely picture on it that was drawn by Lara, well done! I was very excited when we walked onto the stage hearing all the audience clapping, after we had preformed our 18 songs including a Joseph Medley, Let It Shine from Take That and lots more! we got on the coach to leave Albert Hall at around 9:45 and arrived back at school at 12:00!

It was a lovely day, Thank You Very, Very, Very much.

     Here is what it looks like on the outside and the inside.

On Sunday 16th November 2008, 44 children from Kings Road Primary School travelled to London to participate in the Barnardo's Concert for children at the Royal Albert Hall.

The day began with a rehearsal as the choir were taken through each song stage by stage. Although fun and exciting, it was hard work as the concentration required was immense.

All the children's efforts were fully realised when they came to perform at 6:30pm, and not just from the day's work, but also the culmination of work that the pupils put in over recent weeks with Mrs Fuke.

Here is a Panorama that Mr Furness made whilst the children were rehearsing and some photographs that were taken throughout the day. No doubt, pupils will be recording their own version of events later this week!

If you zoom in (SHIFT key), you can see pupils from

At the end of the evening, some very happy but tired children gathered for a group
photo. We were particularly delighted to learn that the T-shirt design for all 1100
singers was designed by our very own Lara P. Congratulations Lara!
