Regents Park School Choir

Our Regents Park School Choir is made up of children from Years 4, 5 and 6 and meets after school on Mondays from 3.00pm to 4.00pm.

We are really excited to announce that the Choir will be taking part in the Youth Proms Massed Choir at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham on Thursday 11th July at 7.00pm! The massed choir is made up of children from lots of schools around Birmingham. On the day, there will be around 400 children taking part alongside our choir as well as children from other schools performing in various orchestras and concert bands.

We hope as many parents and family members will come and watch the children in the choir take part on 11th July and see how amazing the children are, alongside many other talented singers and instrumentalists from across the city!

Tickets can be purchased from the B:Music website – https://bmusic.co.uk/sfe-youth-proms-2024

Please ensure that you select the correct evening, Thursday 11^th July, as the concerts are running over a series of nights, but your child is only performing on the Thursday (performers do not require a ticket).

Tickets cost £15 and concessions are £10. There is a group discount of 15% of groups of 8 or over so do bring as many people as you can! Let Mr Beale if you’d be interested in buying tickets with other parents and he may be able to arrange this.

For more information, read the letter sent home with your child and return the slip as soon as possible. A copy of the letter is attached below.

Letter for parents - Trip to Youth Proms - 11th July 2024

In the meantime, we are busy rehearsing the songs we will perform at the concert. The songs are all by the rock group Queen and will be performed as a medley.

To help your child to learn the songs and all the words, the backing music and lyrics are shared below so children in the choir can access them and practice at home too.

Queen Medley - Lyrics

1. Bohemian Rhapsody
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see.
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I’m easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low.
Any way the wind blows,
Doesn’t really matter to me, to me.

2. Somebody To Love (@1m01s)
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
“Lord, what you're doing to me?”
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord
Somebody (somebody)
Somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

I work hard, every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end of the day
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down on my knees and I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes Lord
Somebody (somebody)
Somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me - somebody to…Lo-----ve?

3. Crazy little thing called love (@2m17s)
This thing- called love,
I just- can’t handle it.
This thing- called love,
I must- get round to it,
I aint ready- crazy little thing called love.

This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby) in a cradle all night-
It swings (woo woo), it jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish, I kinda like it,
Crazy little thing called love.

There goes my baby,
She knows how to rock and roll
She drives me crazy.
She gives me hot and cold fever,
She leaves me in a cool, cool sweat.

I gotta be cool, relax,
Get hip, get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch hike.
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I’m ready
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love

4. Another One Bites The Dust (@3m44s)
Another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust.
And another one gone and another one gone,
Another one bites the dust.
Hey! I’m gonna get you too-
Another one bites the dust

5. We Will Rock You (@4m03s)
Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise
Playin’ in the street gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kickin’ your can all over the place.
Singin’ we will, we will rock you!
We will, we will rock you!

Buddy you’re a young man, hard man,
Shoutin’ in the street
Gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace.
Wavin’ your banner all over the place
Singin’ we will, we will rock you!
We will, we will rock you!
We will, we will rock you!
We will, we will rock you!

6. Bohemian Rhapsody (@5m06s)
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh—baby—
Can’t do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here.

7. We Are The Champions (@5m48s)
We are the champions my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions, we are the champions
No time for losers, cause we are the champions...of the world.

We are the champions my friends…(repeat song)

8. Love Of My Life (@6m57s)
Love of my life, you’ve hurt me,
You’ve broken my heart and now you leave me.
Love of my life can’t you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don’t take it away from me because,
You don’t know, what it means to me.

Love of my life, don’t leave me,
You’ve taken my love and now desert me.
Love of my life can’t you see?
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don’t take it away from me because,
You don’t know, what it means to me.

9. Under Pressure (@8m30s)
Pressure! Pushing down on me,
Pushing down on you, no man ask for.
Under pressure, that tears a building down,
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets.

Bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah
Bah-yeah-bah, bah-yeah-bah- that’s okay!

It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about.
Watching some good friends screaming “let me out!”
Pray tomorrow, takes me higher.

Pressure on people, people on streets
Do-do-do, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.
Okay-oh

10. Under Pressure (into call and response with audience) (@9m28s)
Do-do-do, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.
Okay-oh
Eh-oh (eh-oh), Eh-oh (eh-oh)
Eh-yoh(eh-yoh), eh-yoh (eh-yoh)
Da----------aoh (Da----------aoh)
Day-oh (day-oh), day-oh (day-oh), aaaay-oh (aaaay-oh)
Alright!!

11. Don’t Stop Me Now (@10m11s)
I’m a shooting star leaping through the sky, like a tiger,
Defying the laws of gravity!
I’m a racing car passing by, like Lady Godiva,
I’m gonna go, go, go- there’s no stopping me!
I’m burning through the sky yeah,
Two hundred degrees, that’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit,
I’m travelling at the speed of light, I wanna make a supersonic man out of you!

Don’t stop me, don’t stop me, don’t stop me (Hey, hey hey!)
Don’t stop me, don’t stop me, don’t stop me (Ooh,ooh,ooh!)
Don’t stop me, don’t stop me, don’t stop me (Have a good time, good time!)
Don’t stop me, don’t stop me-
Ah------!

I’m burning through the sky yeah,
Two hundred degrees, that’s why they call me Mister Farenheit,
I’m travelling at the speed of light, I wanna make a supersonic man out of you!

Don’t stop me now, I’m having such a good time, I’m having a ball.
Don’t stop me now, if you wanna have a good time, just give me a call.
Don’t stop me now (cause I’m having a good time!)
Don’t stop me now (cause I’m having a good time!)
I don’t wanna stop at all----!

12. Bohemian Rhapsody (@11m49s)
Any way the wind blows---
