On Remembrance Day, the Great Coates Primary School choir visited Chatteris House, the local sheltered housing complex. They had been practicing for weeks and were excited and nervous to be performing to an audience outside of the school. We were warmly welcomed by the residents and staff at the home, with a gazebo and drinks during the interval. The audience were treated to a range of songs from the first half of the twentieth century with traditional Remembrance Day songs of ‘We’ll Meet Again’ and ‘Pack Up Your Troubles’ and other well-known favourites like ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ and ‘Swinging on a Star’. We were thrilled at the end of the performance when we were given book marks and chocolates for our efforts. The feedback from the staff at the home is that the residents loved the singing and we are really looking forward to visiting again at Christmas to sing carols.
