Royal Albert Hall at night

Home comes an excited girl! Hehe, I've just come back from London with my choir (CBSYC) because we sang at the "Queen's 80th Birthday Prom” on the 19/07/06. There were 250 children, including us, singing to her. We first started with the national anthem and then sang "a little birthday music" which Sir Peter Maxwell Davis wrote, it was an amazing night.

Anyway, I spent 3 days in London - the first day we arrived and went straight to a rehearsal which was filmed which wasn't good because we'd just come off a sweaty 3hour coach journey, we then got to our hotel which the BBC played for us and then we had a walk down the Thames and got to St Paul’s Cathedral (10pm time) and sat on the steps singing a medley of Mary Poppin songs and we had pics and got a police man to sit with us and later danced back to bed - literally!

The next day we had more rehearsals ooo and we had to have a security check before entering the royal albert hall and go through those metal detector boxes and had bag searches and had to show a special pass that had our pic on, scary stuff! After the rehearsal we went to the park and had pizza delivered to us and it was soooo HOT 36+ degrees - not good! We then chilled, got an ice cream and then walked back to get ready for the concert.

We got on stage with all our water - being that in the rehearsals a little boy fainted. We were then told that we weren't allowed to come off at the interval because the queen was going backstage. We did some singing - lalala, Queen clapped and the show went on as we felt every part of our beings melt into nothing!

The Queen presented an award to welsh opera star Bryn Terfel! The concert went on, we melted more, we all clapped and smiled lalala. I was getting restless up there and so amused myself by watching the Tv cameras because from behind it you can see what they are recording.

We then came out and changed and waited for our conductor and my friend Philippa to come back to us from meeting the Queen (they spoke to her and Prince Phillip and Philippa got a kiss from Bryn Terfel - very exciting stuff). We got back to Hotel, ran down to the Tv lounge watched ourselves to see if we were on because the performance was at 7pm but wasn't shown on BBC1 till 10:50pm - so we laughed as we saw ourselves and got very tired so wandered to bed- but me and Philippa were a bit hyper and crazy and happy!!!

It was an amazing 3 days and I saw myself on TV yay!

Wow, talk about HOT weather! The thing that saddens me the most is that I don't live near the sea because I just want to be in there all the time+I can get a better tan when I'm at the beach. But I did buy a cool tankini yesterday with a funky white mini skirt which I'm wearing now as I've been lying in the sun. But it's just unbearable out there because there is no wind or coolness - that's the best thing about the sea because when you get hot you jump into the water.
But check this, I've persuaded my friends to go on a beach trip, only for a day, but at least it will shut me up lol.

I've kinda finished school now, I have got next week but most the week I'm in London so am only going in for a day and I won't even be there then as I'm going to my headteachers other school with my music class to check out there facilities etc.

I'm not doing much this summer - working, soul survivoring (hehe), resting, composing, restoring bedroom (other words-clean it out and change it all around), beach one day and another day go to Brighton with my Mum to see what it is like down there for Uni stuff.

Sigh...I'm already bored!

This is my choir and last weekend we did a choir competition in Wales called Eisteddfod and we won! It was such a shock because we were against some big international choir who split their choir in two and entered them twice *cheat*. The look on their face when we won was funny - it was a eugh we should have won look. The best part was that it was all said in Welsh and we had no idea what the judges were saying and when they said we had won we were like "what’s going on?".
Anyway there are some more pics on my flickr about are fun weekend and on this pic I'm next to the girl holding the shield : )

Woooo!!

Update: July 18th, 19th + 20th me and my choir are going to London to sing at the Royal Albert Hall for the Queens 80th birthday prom...and my closet friend in the choir has been asked to go to a post concert party. Lalala!
