THE talented young voices of the Arthur Bugler Primary School Choir brought festive magic and boundless energy to The Destination Lakeside Press Launch yesterday (Friday, 13 November), earning rave reviews for a standout performance that showcased the very best of the school community.

Taking the stage in front of invited guests, the choir delivered a dynamic setlist that effortlessly blended traditional holiday warmth with high-energy modern pop. They shifted gears between timeless classics, such as 'Silent Night', to rocking the stage with an upbeat, rock-and-roll performance of Sam Ryder's 'You're Christmas to Me'.

The highlight of the showcase came when the students treated the audience to an exclusive performance of their very own original song, 'Christmas Time at Arthur Bugler'. The bespoke track highlighted the pupils' creativity, enthusiasm, and school pride, leaving guests smiling and applauding long after the final note.

On behalf of the school, a very proud Lucy Cordell said: "Throughout the event, every member of the choir displayed remarkable confidence and joy. Their hard work in rehearsals shone through on stage, representing Arthur Bugler Primary School perfectly. Not even an impromptu power-cut could stop them, as they powered through to finish their version of Kelly Clarkson's 'Run Run Rudolph' in acapella style!"

"Arthur Bugler Primary would also like to extend a huge thank you to Paris, and the entire team at The Destination Lakeside for inviting their school Choir to perform at this exclusive event, and providing life-long memories!"

Following their success at The Destination Lakeside Press Launch, Arthur Bugler Primary School's Choir looks forward to sharing more festive performances with families and the wider community in the run-up to Christmas.
