Junior Choir at Young Voices

On Friday 17th January, Junior choir performed at the Resorts World Arena at the NEC as part of a choir of nearly 6,000 children.
We were very proud of all the choir as they behaved beautifully, had super audience manners when listening to the other performers and sang and performed dance moves very well.
We have been learning the songs since the beginning of September, so it was very exciting to be finally taking part in the concert.
It was a very long day with a full morning at school, an afternoon rehearsal lasting 2 and 1/2 hours and then a concert lasting 1 and 3/4 hours.
We thoroughly enjoyed performing alongside Ruti- from The Voice, The Shires and Tony Hadley.
Thank you very much to Mrs Drew, Mrs Smith, Mrs Eames and Mrs Bundy- our fabulous parent helper- we really appreciate your constant support and enthusiasm and for giving up your evening to accompany us.

We arrived back at school at 10pm, very tired but full of fantastic memories of a great experience.

Well done, Junior Choir for performing so well at St Peter`s church.

On Saturday 7th December, Junior choir performed at St Peter`s church, Hall Green. We sang to a packed church, alongside Birmingham Schools` Concert band led by Mr Fisher.
It was lovely to see some of our talented Chilcote friends playing in the band-well done Oriana and Jayden, super performances.

Our choir sang extremely well, despite not having all of our members available and it was a new experience for our Year 3 members too. Mrs Doherty and I were very proud of their performance and their behaviour too, showing good audience manners and listening well throughout the concert.
Thank you very much Junior choir, for representing our school so well on a busy Saturday, thank you very much also to our families for supporting us.

Junior Choir at Symphony hall

On Tuesday 16th July, Junior Choir, accompanied by Mrs Drew,Mrs Bundy, Mrs Rafter and Mrs Thomas, had a fantastic afternoon rehearsal and evening concert at Symphony hall as part of the Birmingham School`s Youth Proms.

We sang with over 350 other children from Birmingham Primary schools and had the opportunity to listen to and watch performances from the Junior Strings ensemble, the Azad Dhol group, the Training Wind orchestra, the Guitar ensemble and the Wind Orchestra.

 We have been working hard learning the songs for a few months prior to the concert and were praised by Ruth the Head of the Vocal team running the event, as well as one of the conductors - so well done Chilcote! You all sang beautifully and enthusiastically and were super representatives of our school. Thank you very much to Mrs Bundy, Mrs Drew and Mrs Rafter for their support and practical help as well as their lovely singing. 

What a great end to the year for Junior Choir! 

Junior Choir at St Peter`s festival Saturday 29th June 2019

On Saturday 29th June, Chilcote Junior choir (looking smart in their lovely choir t shirts) took part in a super concert as part of St Peter`s festival at St Peter`s church. The choir sang a variety of songs confidently and enthusiastically to a large audience. It was a very hot afternoon and our choir handled themselves very well, sitting sensibly and quietly for over an hour.
The audience were very supportive and complimentary about how well our children had performed. We were very proud of you all as it was quite a challenge performing for such a large audience in a venue with tricky acoustics.
We also enjoyed listening to Birmingham schools` Concert Band, Youth Proms Symphonic Brass and Birmingham schools` Brass Ensemble who performed to a very high standard.
Thank you to all our pupils- and families who supported this event on a Saturday afternoon during a very busy time of year. We are very grateful for all your enthusiasm and kind words.

Chilcote Summer concerts

On Monday 20th May and Tuesday 21st May, over 120 children performed at our two annual Summer concerts. Both were well attended by large enthusiastic audiences and all the children performed confidently, showcasing their hard work over the past few months to their family and friends.
We are very proud of all our performers and would like to thank them for their hard work and enthusiasm, providing us with two very enjoyable evenings.
Thank you very much to our talented peripataetic music service teachers who have taught and encouraged the children all year. Our children have made great progress, through the hard work of Mrs Mulenga, Mr Fisher, Miss Hobbs, Mr Chamberlain and Mr Singh.
