HITTING THE HIGH NOTES: The Hightown Primary School Choir outside the O2 Arena in London where they performed with 7,000 other children in the Young Voices concert.
Southampton school children made sure their voices were heard when they joined a choir of thousands.
The youngsters from Hightown Primary School, part of the Hinkler Academies Trust, helped to fill the huge O2 arena in London with the sound of young voices.
They were participating in the annual Young Voices extravaganza, which attracts thousands of school children every year.
Hightown’s choir of 22 children from Years 5 and 6 joined 7,000 other singers for the event.
Headteacher, Sian Cook, said: “They sang their hearts out and did themselves and our school incredibly proud.
“It was a fantastic experience that they will no doubt remember for the rest of their lives.”
During the event they performed a variety of songs, from Stevie Wonder to Rag N Bone, to a packed audience.
For more than 20 years Young Voices has staged the largest children’s choir concerts in the world, with more than 2 million young people taking part to date.
Each concert sees around 5,000-8,000 children singing together to an audience of their family and friends.
Hightown choir member, Rhiannon Crawford, said: “It was a wonderful experience and I have never been anywhere so big before.
“It was amazing singing with so many other people and I am really glad I got the opportunity to go. It’s the best school trip we have ever had at Hightown!”
