Christmas Choir Competition Marching out of the school to the sound of Winter wonderland, the choir confidently settled their nerves as they made their way to Westfield, Stratford. Every Friday, after school, they practised for the seasonal event of Newham Schools Christmas Choir Competition. Mr Murdoch would tinkle the ivories, Mr Williams would conduct and Ranelagh’s wonderful choir would raise their voices in sweet harmony.
Taking in a deep breath, they took to the stage to perform. Their opening song gathered the crowds of Christmas shoppers around the stage - Walking in Winterland echoed around the shopping arcade. The audience cheered and smiled as the choir went through their repertoire of songs, such as Silver Bells, Rocking around the Christmas Tree and The 12 Days of Christmas.
‘I was so proud of the children,’ said a festive Miss Welburn, dressed in a Christmas jumper and Christmas socks, ‘ my nose twitched with emotion at the beautiful rendition of Do You Hear What I Hear ?’
The parents and family who were there in the audience grinned from ear to ear’
‘What a perfect way to open the Christmas season.’ said one family member.
All our fingers are crossed to see if they get into the final. Whatever the outcome, each child did everyone at Ranelagh proud.
