8 KSCS AT DISNEYLAND No one knew what to expect, we didn’t know how many would come in to watch but we needn’t have worried. Disney really treated us like artists with lights, sound and even smoke machines to create a 30-minute performance of amazing quality. As always our students really did not disappoint and rose to the occasion with a performance beyond anything I have seen them do. Backstage, after the performance, Disney commented on the quality of our choir’s harmonies and the choreography for the dancers. They then stated that they would like it if we applied to return again at some point; an honour and credit in itself. The students then had the opportunity to spend some time in the park soaking up the full Disney atmosphere. This isn’t just the rides but also the chance to see some of the best performers there are with a selection of Dancers, Musicians and Actors. However that was not enough for the Ken Stimpson youngsters, they were even seen hijacking the Disney Brass Band performance of ‘Let It Go’ singing along to the delight of the performers, audience and Disney staff. At Ken Stimpson we do not do things by half. This was a phenomenal experience and achievement for everyone involved and something I’m sure those taking part will never forget. I would like to pay my personal thanks to the Choir and Disney Dancers for their tremendous effort as well as the quality of their performance. Alongside that a huge thank you to Mrs. Yewbrey, Mr. Hale, Mrs. Lackenby and Mrs. Eldred for their help on the trip itself, it would not have been such a success without you. Our programme was :- • Nants Igonyama (from ‘the Lion King’) Acapella Quintet • Stampede (from ‘the Lion King’) Dancers • Circle of Life (from ‘the Lion King’) Choir • How Sweet the Sound/Amazing Grace Choir • Let It Go (from ‘Frozen’) Choir • Pencil Full of Lead (Paolo Nutini) Dancers • Angels (Robbie Williams) Choir and Dancers • Reach (S Club 7) Choir and Dancers

Performing at Disney was a once in a lifetime experience and I’ve never felt so proud to be from Ken Stimpson than when the raptuous applause came. It is all down to Mr Norman - a complete blessing to the school and I shall be eternally grateful for the opportunity he has provided.” - Emily “Disney was my first time out of the country. I have done many things that I wouldn’t have dared to do a month ago, I’m so glad that I was able to go” - Esther “ “Disney was incredible, I have made memories I’ll never forget” - Matthew “Disney was the most amazing experience of my life because it happened with all my friends and performing arts family. I’m so proud of everyone that came and tried thier hardest. I hope that in the future we will get to do things like this again. I would like to thank Mr Norman and team for making all of this happen” - Chloe
