May 2007  ~ Any Dream Will Do

              

During the spring and early summer 2007 BBC 1 ran a competition for youth choirs alongside its talent show 'Any Dream Will Do'.  

Choirs were invited to rehearse, perform, record and upload to a dedicated website the well know song from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'.  The public were then invited to view and award points to the various performances. Breakspear responded to the challenge.  However, the BBC significantly underestimated the level of response and there were significant issues, both in choirs uploading their performances and in the public viewing and scoring the performances.  

Though the Breakspear choir did not win anything, the children involved enjoyed preparing and performing the song (with choreography by Mrs Gray).
