R.S.N.O
On Monday the 5th of March, We had to be at school at 8:45 so we could catch a ferry to Mainland Shetland. Mrs Gott came instead as Miss Breyley. Sonia took us on the bus. The ferry took 20 minutes to get from Ulsta to the Mainland. We drove to the clickimin where the orchestra was being held. Miss Breyley told us they would be 700 people there the day before. When we got there we saw lots and lots of buses and coaches. After we had got through the queue we sat down on the chairs. We were amazed at how many people they were. A man called Paul stood up and welcomed us and told us what the concert was called, after Paul sat down, the orchestra played the first song which was called Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss. It was amazing how they all came all together. My favourite songs that they played was the Simpsons and In The Hall Of the Mountain King. I learned that if the orchestra played a note wrong they just kept on going.
We participated in two songs one of them we sang which was called When Life Is Great and we clapped to Tam O’ Shanter.
