The day we have been looking forward to and rehearsing for since November finally arrived! Yesterday morning, bright and early, we boarded the bus and headed for our Peace Proms concert in Dublin – and what a day it was!
We arrived at the RDS Simmonscourt Arena in time for a rehearsal at 11 o’clock. It was our first chance to have a look around the venue and the excitement was building. The choir and orchestra were sounding good!
As we ate our lunch, the audience began to arrive and we were able to spot our parents coming in. The venue filled up and we were ready for the show to begin!
From beginning to end, it was a fabulous show!
The stars of the show were the Peace Proms choir – it was amazing to sing with over 2000 other children and show off all our hard work learning the words and choreography for the songs. We sang and danced our hearts out!
We were also treated to some fantastic performances by the orchestra, drummers, pipers, singers and dancers. There was even an extra special surprise appearance from Alisha Weir, the star of Matilda The Musical who sang Naughty. The orchestra also treated us to a Club Classics Medley that had the whole choir and audience up on their feet and dancing!
It was an unforgettable experience for all of us in the choir. Thank you to everyone who travelled down to Dublin to support us – the audience had as much fun as we did!
We are incredibly proud of you all – it certainly was a day to remember!
