Staffordshire Schools’ Virtual Big Sing

Really getting into the Christmas spirit but brought to you a little differently this year and we all know why!

Staffordshire Schools’ Virtual Big Sing features performances from a number of different schools groups across the county. We’ll be releasing videos from the participating schools approximately every 15 minutes from 9.30am onwards. The videos will be on our Entrust YouTube channel and then we’ll have links on our social media channels (Facebook and Twitter) throughout the day.

This will provide the perfect backdrop for wrapping your gifts and joining in with some carols too.

Starting at 5pm we’ll show recorded performances from 7 ensembles that have worked towards this performance since September. The groups will be ‘Blast Off’, Training Wind Band, Training String Orchestra, Senior Wind Band, Senior String Orchestra, ‘Voices Together’ choir and ‘Rock It!’
