🎺🎤 Guess what?! We teamed up with the awesome Driffield Silver Band for a musical rendezvous and finale, and man, was it a riot! 🤘🌟 We belted out the Austrian Folk hit "Scheewalzer" together, and the crowd went nuts! 🇦🇹❄️ The stage was on fire with our voices mixing it up with those killer brass vibes from The Driffield Silver Band. 🎵✨ We had a blast, and the audience? Well, let's just say they were dancing in the aisles! 🤩👏 📜 About "Schneewalzer": This old gem by Thomas Koschat is like a time machine to the early 1900s, capturing the essence of winter in a toe-tapping waltz. ❄️💃 It wasn't just a gig; it was a party celebrating music, good vibes, and different cultures coming together. 🌍🎼 Big shoutout to The Driffield Silver Band for rocking the house with us—here's to more musical shenanigans! 🥂🎉 #JamSession #SchneewalzerShenanigans #BrassandBass

"Rachel and I and the audience were absolutely enchanted by the opening performance at our concert – Vuelie was pure magic! 🎶 The choir's dedication in mastering the intricate five-part harmony was awe-inspiring. Huge applause to these talented dedicated singers for setting the stage on fire! 🔥✨ For those wondering about Vuelie's charm, it's inspired by the Saami yoik, a traditional vocal form from Scandinavia. The song's mystical lyrics, in a made-up language, transport us into the enchanting world of Frozen, conveying nature's connection and Elsa's magical essence. 🌌❄️ Bravo to our amazing choir for bringing this ethereal experience to life! Proud doesn’t cut it! #ConcertMagic #Vuelie #disney #choirlife #ChoirEnchantment #FrozenVibes #hullcityhall #choir

Road Home by Stephen Paulus in honour of our service men and women. We say "Thank you for your service and We will remember them"! The decision to perform "Road Home" by Stephen Paulus for The Royal British Legion in honor of British veterans was a deeply heartfelt one for the AFO Choir. We recognized that this song's poignant and reflective lyrics conveyed the emotions that many veterans might carry with them throughout their lives. The lyrics of "Road Home" spoke of a journey, a quest to find one's place and to return to a sense of belonging. We believed that this sentiment resonated with the experiences of the brave men and women who had served in the British armed forces. Many veterans may have embarked on their own journeys during their service, facing hardships and sacrifices along the way. "Road Home" symbolized the longing for a place to call their own, mirroring the desire to return to the familiar after years of service. The imagery of the song, with references to the wind, rain, and the calling from far away, painted a vivid picture of the challenges and aspirations of those who served. The lyrics inspired the idea that, just as the song beckoned with the words, "Rise up, follow me, I will lead you home," the choir wished to convey our gratitude and respect for the service of these veterans. By choosing "Road Home" to sing for The Royal British Legion, we hoped to pay homage to the sacrifices and the journey that British veterans had taken. This song became a heartfelt tribute, a reminder of the enduring love and support that surrounds them, and a symbol of the way back to a place of honor, respect, and recognition for their service.
