The Participant’s Experience

 

If you are thinking of starting one of our choirs, or joining us for our next events, don’t take our word for it, read some of the testimonials below.


“We may be a comparatively small school but we strive to give our children the opportunity to have great experiences – and this was a great experience.”

-Chappel Primary School Headteacher Julie Ingram

Many thanks for allowing us to be part of the fantastic event at the O2 yesterday; the students were totally buzzing about the whole experience. In fact they were so involved they hassled me all the way home (literally) to make sure we register now for next year!
- Head of Music, Belper School (Derbyshire)

THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH for a wonderful day/eve at the O2. All our participating children and staff had a fantastic time, and our supporters including the Head Teacher, were lavish in their praise of a moving and high quality performance.  As a teacher, I would like to thank you for the sensitive and effective way you handled the whole day, especially your expectations of the children’s behaviour, (which made the whole day SO much more enjoyable than similar events I have endured at the O2 with another organisation!).  I also appreciated the effort you made to make every child feel as if their contribution mattered – it would be easy to feel insignificant in such a vast venue, but you made us all feel valued and appreciated!! And congratulations to all your brave soloists, who were, without exception, outstanding, and such amazing role models for their peers. We’ll see you next year, if that’s alright with you!

- Lime Walk School

I have to say, compared to all the other organisations we’ve worked with on this sort of project, your administration and communication are absolutely outstanding.
- Head of Music, Yardley Court School (Kent)

Thank you for inviting the school  and be so accommodating in letting our entrants perform at the O2. They thoroughly enjoyed taking part, as did the teachers!!! Fantastic evening all round and a great cause to support and work for. The school would love to be involved in future events
- Gems Hampshire School – London

An ENORMOUS thank you. We all had a fantastic time at the 02. We look forward to the DVD.
- Saint Felix School, Southwold

What an Amazing Night! I just wanted to say how much Hessle High enjoyed the o2 show – it was truly an amazing experience and one that we most definitely would like to be involved in next time you do it. The talent was astounding and the soloists I thought were so professional and sang brilliantly.
– Hessle High School (Hull)

Firstly, thank you for allowing us to take part in such a splendid event.  Our students had a great time, and came back buzzing!  Thank-you – we are really grateful for all your hard work and service to us.
- Glyn School (Surrey)

I attended the concert at the 02 and was completely blow away by the evening. Yes I clapped, I sang along, I cried and I cheered, fantastic evening, I wish the charity all the best in its fundraising events and of course in the real work that it does.
- Parent

I just wanted to say thank you for such a tremendous day with Voice in a Million. We had a wonderful time and it was a truly memorable experience, well worth the long day. Huge thanks too to the team who gave us all the support on the phone. Always helpful with my seemingly endless queries.
- Marpool School (Exmouth)

We all had an absolutely fantastic time
- Upper Wharfedale School (North Yorks)

“Can I say a big thank you for all your help in achieving a great night. We were very excited to take part and despite a state of complete exhaustion we enjoyed ourselves immensely.  Again, thank you very much for including us and we look forward to meeting again in the future.”
– Whitefield Special Needs Schools & Centre (Waltham)

What a night!!  We all had the most amazing experience. I don’t know how you manage nearly 8,000 children. You all do such a fantastic job.  Thank you for everything and book us in for next year.
– Northgate School

I would like to thank you and say how much we enjoyed the day yesterday. All our students and chaperones had a brilliant time; it was a very special performance. And congratulations on being so efficient and prompt with timings –we were very impressed!
- The Knights Templar School

The children had the most fantastic time they have ever had.  They were all still full of excitement today when they arrived at school.  I think you all did a stunning job and what a number of children to cope with – a super time was had by all and your team were extremely helpful.  We would certainly do it all again.
- St Saviour’s Junior School.

We are now back in Glasgow after our very exciting trip to London.  The event was tremendous.  Our kids are asking- are we coming next year miss! We have 2 adopted kids in the choir and they loved it and felt very special afterwards.   Well done in such a well organised fabulous event.
– Belmont School (Glasgow)

We would like to say how much we all enjoyed the concert! The children were buzzing afterwards and it was a real experience for them all! We have had many compliments from parents who really loved watching their children take part. The singers were amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic, it was a real success!
- Maple Primary School (Herts.)

Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing experience at the O2 yesterday.  Our children had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed it.  We have had fantastic feedback from parents of the children that took part! The organisation was fantastic!
- Thames Ditton Infant School (Surrey)

I’d like to pass on a huge thank you from the staff and all the kids who came. The kids were totally buzzing and excited almost all the way home to Norfolk. Even in school today a couple of them came up to me thanking me for taking them. We’d love to come again next time. Again, a massive thank you and congratulations on a very successful, fun and quite emotional night! Well done to everyone involved!
- Reepham High School and College (Norfolk)

We have had some wonderful comments from children and parents on a brilliant day yesterday! The children thoroughly enjoyed it and the parents thought it was a fabulous event.  Thank you so much for the opportunity for our school to be a part of Voice in a Million!  Congratulations also to you and the team for all the organisation.
- Coworth Flexlands School

We wanted to thank you on behalf of all of our children for a fantastic day. The impact of participating in such an event is immeasurable in terms of experience and setting high aspirations.
- St Peter’s School Choir (Leatherhead)

Many thanks for the experience; the kids loved the concert and the chance to be at the 02
– Caterham School

I would just like to say thank you for the fantastic and moving performance given last night, everybody put their heart and soul in to singing for a very special cause.  A special thanks to all the organisers who made this a very special night. My daughter was proud to be part of it.
- (Parent) Sunbury-on- Thames

Thank you so much for a very enjoyable evening. Students at ATA had a lovely time and the event was a wonderful occasion. It has pressed people at school to consider helping young people who are adopted and need a loving home and to spread the awareness of it. Thanks again!
- Ashcroft Academy (London)

Just a quick note to say a massive thank you for a great night last night! The talent that the soloists have is amazing and I admit, I did cry in places! Their voices were truly beautiful and sent a shiver down your back when you think of the words that they are singing. It was so lovely to spot my daughter with her school (Caterham) and watch them all swaying with their arms around each other and singing at the top of the voices. She sent me a text after the show finished which said “I’m glad I have you and Dad – love you!” which set me off again but I do think it has made a lot of the children realise how lucky they are and also all about adoption. It was a wonderful night and I will be singing “Oh Happy Day” for some time now! Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work and we all look forward to the next concert.
– (Parent) Caterham School

Congratulations on an amazing event, it was truly spectacular!
- Boundary Oak School (Fareham)

What a fabulous experience the night was! Thank you so much for having us.
– Stagechoir

We attended the 2011 concert on 1/2/11 for the first time! AMAZING! We would love to come again.
- St Barnabas’ CE Primary School (Kent)

We participated in VIAM last year, when our sister school (who already registered), told us about it. Loved it last year (the kids and staff chaperones as well as staff and parents that came to the actual show), so we made sure we signed up for VIAM next year! - Goldbeaters Primary School
