The weather was really hot as we travelled on the way to the concert and as promised we received a police escort to the town. We were at one point concerned that we might not be able to perform because of the heat and this caused some serious discussion. Miraculously as we arrived the skies clouded over and the temperature dropped. The team handled the kit down the hill to the venue.
We set up in a little square near a cafe. The customers watched with great interest as we set up to perform and shouted encouragement over their coffees. The set up took place in record time.
The choir sang to seed the crowd and soon enough they began to gather in the little square. The sound was beautiful as the music soared into the balmy air. The audience loved the music and were genuinely enjoying themselves.
The venue was warm, and the students tired. Their good cheer and genuine enthusiasm for the concert despite the hot journey and the tiredness made me genuinely proud to be part of the tour. I can truly say I have never been prouder to be part of Woking High!
Afterwards we broke down, again in record time , as we were going to the nearby town of Malgrat de Mar for dinner. The coach drivers, Mick and Darren, were serenaded by a song battle all the way to Malgrat. The dinner at the hotel was excellent and back on the coach the song battle continued, this time with the drivers joining in!
Back in Tossa, Year 10 and 11 went with Mr Goodwin and Rev Lacey for a moonlit walk to the castle while 7,8 and 9 danced at the disco. ( You would think they would be tired!)
What a wonderful day!
The broadband seems to be thinner than expected and pictures are difficult to load. However I will keep trying and see what we can manage.
Adios
