Friday- Beatbullying Anthem

A few weeks ago I entered a competition in association with Beatbullying (or the cybermentors charity I am part of.) The name says it all really, the aim is to beat bullying. The competition was to write lyrics to be part of the new charity song. I got an email a few weeks ago saying my lyrics were inspiring and I had been chosen to attend the recording of the song. We were told a special guest would attend and that the day would basically be fantastic.

We travelled to Bromley (54 minutes) after going to school and picking up all my books and chatting to the head etc etc. So when we got there, there were 2 other people waiting (I was expecting a huge amount.) It turned out that no one was expecting the competition winners, but that was ok, as they took us upstairs to join the 6 people from the school who were recording it. It was a huge and beautiful school (mixed which was scary after being in an all girls school for how many years?) When we got upstairs in the proper musicy room, we came up with some ideas for the song, using a very powerful image for our inspiration. Then came US yes US singing >.<... of course I refused to sing. And felt very stupid for doing so. We were called into the recording booth and I didn't sing (I really was not expecting to have to) and they called me out and said it was ok not to etc etc. We then wrote more lyrics and stuff later in the day and the end of the song, I wrote part of and then actually sung it. (in a group of 4) but wow. So now this song will be available for download next week maybe? To promote anti-bullying week. I will probably post a link on here when it is available.

Oh and there was no special guest. But one thing which was good was the general school atmosphere. The staff really interacted with the students and were like friends with them, ate lunch (in the scary, busy, male and female canteen) and had a laugh with them etc.

So basically I doubt anyone will read that but there we go.
