Alresford Choir Events 2026-2027

Thank you for signing your child up to our choir club. We had an exciting year last academic year where we took part in three large events including a new competition run by Colchester Rotary Club! The children’s confidence grew so much throughout the year and I am excited to see where this year takes us. 

I wanted to let you know the events for this academic year that we are being a part of:

• Monday 12^th October – Harvest Festival at St Andrews Church
  • First performance as a choir during our Y4-6 harvest festival.
• November – Rotary Annual Choir Competition
  • First public performance at High School for Girls, Norman Way, Colchester
  • Heats will be the Thursday 12^th November
  • If we get through to the final, it is likely to be on Tuesday 17^th
  • The doors will be open from 6pm. All events start from 7pm and we would need parents to get the children to each of the events. You are able to stay and watch. The event to should finish at around 8.15pm.
• Tuesday 2^nd February 2027 - Young Voices
  • Largest children choir at the O2, London. Ticket information will be sent out soon.
• March (date to be confirmed) 2027 – Tendring Vocal Festival
  • Multiple school event at Princes Theatre, Clacton. There will be a daytime (in school hours) rehearsal and then an evening show that you can attend. Tickets will need to be purchased through Princes Theatre nearer the time. Again for the evening show, we would need parents to get their child to the event. More information about the event will be given closer to the time.

I hope this helps so you know what experiences we have planned for our choir club this year. We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead for them. If you have any questions about the event, please email or call Mrs Hammond. Thank you for your continued support.

Young Voices

Thank you for signing your child up to our Choir.  We have signed our school up again to participate in the Young Voices choir, which takes place at The O2 on Tuesday 2^nd February 2027.  This is an amazing opportunity for our children to join thousands of other children in a spectacular event – they will get to be a part of the largest children’s choir in the world. The children will arrive at the O2 at 12:45pm, rehearsal time is 2:00pm to 5:00pm and then concert time will be 7:00pm to 8:45pm. We have organised a coach for the event which will be £15 per person. If you wish to attend the event as well and would like to travel with your child, we have seats available so please inform us and pay for yours and your child’s seat via School Money.

For those that will be attending, tickets need to be ordered by the end of September.  You can order tickets and t-shirts by signing up to the Young Voices Music Room via the link below. https://yvmusicroom.com/auth/parent/journey/welcome 

The Music Room contains all the songs, lyrics, videos etc meaning your child can practice at home as well as at school.  We cannot add your child to the choir it has to be done through you as a parent.  You can sign up without ordering tickets or t-shirts so please can you do this ASAP.  When you order the tickets and t-shirts it will direct you to a payment page and notify us of how many tickets you have ordered etc.  These are delivered to us and then we will hand them out to you.  They cannot guarantee that after 30^th September there will be any tickets available and if there are, the price will increase.  You do not have to attend if you do not want to, school staff will escort the children there and back.

There is an additional consent form for you to complete and return to the office by the end of September. If you have any further questions then please let me know.
