20 Jun Inpsire Festival
Last night, our School Choir from years 4-6 participated in the annual Inspire Festival: a platform to showcase creative talents within schools and across the borough. We spent the day at Dagenham Park Secondary School, where we had the opportunity to have our own technical rehearsal (to decide what additional microphones were needed and finalise our spacing); became a supportive audience (while we watched other schools present their performance pieces); and learned how to take direction from other Music Leads (as we learned the words, actions and stage directions for the joint finale song). Feeding in with our ethos of being ‘Resilient’ ‘Inspiring’ ‘Successful’ and ‘Empowering’ (RISE), our song choice for this year’s festival was “Unstoppable”: a powerful anthem about inner strength and resilience, which encourages listeners to overcome challenges and believe in their own potential. As a choir, we will continue to promote RISE through all our performance pieces and cannot wait to invite our family and friends to our future showcases! Well done Parsloes Choir – you were all INCREDIBLE!
