On Monday 17 August, the choir kids went to the Town Hall and rehearsed for their concert in October. When we first walked into the Town Hall, we saw that there were heaps of people. There were children from lots of schools and teachers and parents, too. It was really noisy because everyone was talking.
Then we found our seats and sat down. The conductors introduced themselves and the rehearsal started. We sang all fourteen of the songs we were learning. In between, the conductors stopped us to tell us how to sing the songs better. The special choir was up on stage to sing their parts.
We were really tired because of all the singing we did. We sang for two hours without a break! There was lots of energy in our singing, but everyone was running out of energy by the end.
We think it sounded really loud in the Town Hall and sort-of echoey because it was so big. It went quite well for our first big practice.
Now we have to practice more at school and know all the song words and get good at the tricky bits. In October we have got one more big rehearsal on the day and then our performance at night. We’re looking forward to that Big Night!
