Rugby World Cup Success

Singing the national anthems at the Rugby World Cup was one of the most exciting experiences we’ve had as a choir. Walking on to the pitch in formation, in front of 30,000 rugby fans and television cameras from around the world was both nerve-racking and totally exhilarating. The atmosphere was brilliant, and we sang our hearts out for the rugby players and their fans. When we walked off the pitch we got a big hand from the crowd, which was amazing and totally unexpected! We worked intensely hard to learn the foreign languages of the anthems off by heart and I am very proud of what we achieved. Thanks also to the male singers from Sussex Harmonisers, Jam Tarts and Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus who joined us. It really was a wonderful and unique experience that I think we will treasure for years to come.
