We are now revving up for Easter. We always like to perform something appropriate, and since Easter and chocolate go hand-in-hand, we've plumped for a track from the fabulous Wonka 2023 film! Find the rehearsal track below and get singing along.
After all, by our reckoning, chocolate is only just outside of the Holy Trinity. We are convinced that, had chocolate been invented in first century Palestine, it would have featured large in the Last Supper...
Lots of musical love,
Mrs H and Mrs B xx
A World of Your Own
Song by The Cast of Wonka and Timothée Chalamet
Close your eyes and count to ten
Make a wish, now open them Here's a store that's like no other If it were, I wouldn't botherChocolate bushes, chocolate trees
Chocolate flowers and chocolate bees Chocolate memories that a boy once saved Before they melted awayA world of your own
A place to escape to A world of your own Where you can be free Wherever you go Wherever life takes you This is your home A world of your ownHere is the child that you left behind
Here is the kid with the curious mind Here is the wonder we used to feel Back when the magic was realA world of your own
A place to go when you're Feeling alone Feeling unsure Embrace the unknown Enjoy the adventureLet's go strolling in the clouds
Grab a handful, it's allowed Clouds are made of cotton candy Just keep your umbrella handy 'Cause there's a hard rain gonna fall Humbugs, gumdrops, and aniseed balls Fireworks bring sugar string To chew All the colors of the rainbow And some others tooA world of our own (a world of our own)
A place to escape to (a place to escape to) The world of our own (a world of our own) Where we can be free (where we can be free) Wherever you go (wherever you go) Wherever life takes you (wherever life takes you) This is our home A world of our ownAfter two lovely performances already this year (Harvest and Remembrance), VG is cantering through Christingle with the song added below, and heading towards Christmas! We are also madly preparing for Young Voices in January. It's a manic time for us vocalists!
Young Voices 2024 will take place at Sheffield Arena on Monday 8th January 2024. We can take up to 30 children from Y4, 5 and 6, with priority given to our Vocal Group Veterans: those children who completed the year in Vocal Group last year. Look out for the letters coming soon!
Rehearsals are currently taking place at 12.45pm on Wednesdays.
Lots of musical love,
Mrs. B and Mrs. H
In a time full of war, be peace
In a time full of doubt, just believe
Yeah, there ain't that much difference between you and me
In a time full of war, be peace
In a world full of hate, be a light
When you do somebody wrong, make it right
Don't hide in the dark, you were born to shine
In a world full of hate, be a light
la la la
In a place that needs change, make a difference
In a time full of noise, just listen
'Cause life is but a breeze, better live it
In a place that needs a change, make a difference
In a world full of hate, be a light
When you do somebody wrong, make it right
Oh, don't hide in the dark, you were born to shine
In a world full of hate, be a light
la, la, la x4
In a race that you can't win, slow it down
Yeah, you’re only getting one go around
'Cause the finish line is six feet in the ground
In a race you can't win, just slow it down
In a world full of hate, be a light
When you do somebody wrong, make it right
Don't hide in the dark, you were born to shine
In a world full of hate, be a light
Yeah, it's hard to live in colour, when you just see black and white
In a world full of hate, be a light
Young Voices 2023 was AMAZING!!!!!!!
Our children sang and danced their hearts out on Friday 3rd February at Sheffield Arena. We are so grateful to the wonderfully talented Mrs. Amanda Holmes for designing and creating our beautiful new Vocal Group tops, which premiered at Young Voices, but will be used for many performances to come!
Enjoy the photos!
Lots of musical love,
Mrs Houghton and Mrs. Buckle xx
