Olympic Show and Workshop
Especially designed to link with the 32nd Olympic Games taking place in Tokyo in July and August 2020, our show begins with the Japanese National Anthem and a flag waving opening ceremony. Imagine you are in the New National Stadium in Tokyo and hear the Olympic Hymn before the competition starts. The games originated in Greece and we feature the ancient Greek pan pipes before visiting every continent – African Kudus, Australian Didjeridu, American Sousaphone, Italian Cimbasso and the Asian Dungs to name just a few. Be amazed by the Musical Athletics, how high, how low, how long, how fast! Try and keep up in the Flight of the Bumble Bee. The show reaches a climax with our unique Olympic Sports Suite – a Real Gold Medal Winner.
Packed with audience participation, this cross-curricular performances contains links to Science, Geography, History and Music. The show is aimed at children from Foundation, Keystage 1 and Keystage 2 altogether up to a maximum of 450 children. Performing in over 150 schools a year, with 28 years of experience the musicians are excellent at crowd control! The workshop is for a group of 45 children who will create and put together a piece of sporting music that can be performed by the children to the rest of the school as part of the show. Primarily using hand percussion the children will be part of their very own orchestra. A full day option can culminate in a presentation by the children to the rest of the school and/or parents. Alternatively, the full day can be packed with workshops. All days start with the whole school show.
