Over the past few weeks, Holcombe Brook’s choir, lead by Mrs Geelan, has been learning some new material in preparation for some Autumn performances. This is their first recording of a song called Homeward Bound. It was traditionally written as an anthem for returning soldiers. The choir consists of boys and girls from Years 5 and 6 who rehearse every Wednesday. Several children perform outstandingly confident solos and duets in this piece. This recording begins with David from Year 6 taking the solo. He is then joined by Lewis, also from Year 6, followed by the gorgeous choir. Summer (Y6) ends the performance beautifully. I know the choir would love your feedback! Please share so as many people as possible can hear this amazing performance!
