Churcher's College local choir on Britain's Got Talent Semi-Final

Posted on 4th Sep 2020 in School News, Competition

On Saturday 5th September, local children’s eco-choir, SOS From the Kids, will appear in the semi-final of ITV’s hit show ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ (BGT) singing their own song about climate change.

The public vote will decide whether the group get through to the final - we are asking as many people as possible to please download the BGT app and vote to support them! There are five free votes available to all on the app.

"Our choir had to record the song remotely as there were too many of us to be in the studio with the Covid restrictions, and we are really happy with the results. If we make it to the final we will succeed in sharing our environmental message as far and wide as possible which is our number one goal," explains 12 year old Ari Wilks, choir member and Churcher's College student.

"Greta Thunberg liked our first song and the choir has begun to work with the WWF and the UN sharing this important message, which just shows the power of music to reach people and that anything is possible."

The choir features children aged between 4 and 16 years and follows their first BGT performance in May this year which was loved by the judges and got a standing ovation.

The song the group are singing on Saturday is “Stand As One” and was written by the group's lead singer, 12 year old Sim Macaulay and his mum Dorry. All proceeds from the song go to environmental causes and to help wildlife.
