+ What is it?

The Twelve Tasks of Hercules is a brand new online felxible musical.

The plan is to create a filmed performance, which means:

• No rehearsals on the day
• No travel issues
• No costs for parents

Depending on how your school is approaching singing, you can sing in bubbles, perform in larger groups outside or ask the students to record themselves at home. There is plenty of flexibility so you can make this work for your school. If you have Music Service staff working with you, they can teach all the songs for you.

+ When is it?

The show will be premiered on YouTube on Wednesday 14 ^th July 2021 at 6.30pm and will be available to watch at any time after the premier so you can show this to the school as part of an assembly or end of term performance.

+ When is it?

The songs are aimed at KS1&2 students, however, confident Year 2s will be able to join in and some year 7s might enjoy getting involved.

+ What will schools have to do?

• Attend the twilight session on Thursday 22nd April at 4pm on Zoom.
• Each school needs to learn a maximum of 5 songs, but if you only want to learn 1 or 2, that's absolutely fine as we will be compiling the films into a massed performance.
• Teach the songs prior to your filming session in mid-June - children will be expected to know the words from memory at this session.
• The show is narrated and each school needs to select one narrator - they can read from a script or speak from memory, whatever is easiest. They can read in English or translate the script into a language they are more familiar with.
• Ensure that only children with photo and video consent are filmed as the final performance will be shared on social media.

+ What do we wear?

You can wear costumes or school uniform, you can use props or not - the aim is to have a manageable goal to work towards so the students feel they are part of a larger, musical show.

+ Filming Sessions

Paul will film your performances in school during a one-hour session. During this session Paul will film all community songs, your chosen solo song and narration
