bellekatz Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 My school's choir has entered the Joseph Search for a choir competition. Afetr trauma trying to upload the film I did of them we have finally got it sorted today (long story) and we are on the list You can't vote before tuesday now, but if anyone has a few spare minutes after that and would go to http://www.josephchoirsearch.co.uk and look for Chorlton Park Primary School - plesae rank us so we can get into the final 20. The choir have been working really hard since this was announced at the beginning of the Easter holidays ( helpful!) and we would appreciate lots of great rankings! Apologies in advance to any other forum memebrs whose chidlren/schools are also involved int this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think there is someone else who will be after votes as well - perhaps we can vote for both? I understand there have been big problems with the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 There were huge problems with the site yesterday - basically it couldnt cope with the amount ot traffic which suprises me with it being a BBC site. Anyway, we're on! You can rate other choirs as well so maybe if others post school names here we can go round giving them all a 5!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) Terribly sorry Bellekatz....but feel obliged to vote for Dobcroft School....because it is within spitting distance of my house! Edit: Changed my mind...am voting for the school my children attended as I see it has entered. Edited May 14, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 You can rate more than one choir - in fact I think you have to and some will come up automatically when you go into the audition room - all I ask is that you rate us as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've just had a look at that site- 38 pages of choirs, so far It's going to make it hard for anyone who seriously wants to work their way through them all and choose the choir that they really believe is the best sounding. You'd need several free hours to listen to them all, even with the very short clips provided, and then how do you choose between them It looks as if it's likely to be down to the school that can get the most number of people to vote Anyway I don't know any young people involved in this myself, and the local primary doesn't appear to be participating, so I'm more than happy to submit a vote for the choirs that any forum members are involved in, especially if I can make more than 1 vote Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Please, please, please, if you can try and give Chirnside primary a vote or two while you are there, I (and my lovely son) would appreciate it greatly. There video was uploaded just before the site problems, and they are a touch peeved at all the down time the site has had since they went on.

Guest Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Have just gone and checked through 38 pages of choirs, so I could rate Duncans, and despite their video being uploaded last week, it's not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 if you cant see it I would contact the website via the link on the bottom and tell them it should be there - I think the BBC have made a real hash of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Oh Shona - let us know when it appears - and then I can vote for both schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Ive been through them this morning as well and cant see it - I would definitley let the school know so they can email the BBC - I sent 2 stroppy emails to the Beeb last week and they did finally get their act together on Friday night, and i got replies as well! Let them know before the deadline today - I'd hate for those kids to miss their chance after all their hard work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yeah, i sent a couple of stroppy emails - the second prompted by a blanket email that actually didn't address the questions I had asked in the first! They've said they didn't realise how popular the competition would be - how could they not expect a good 1000 entries for a competition open to all primary schools in the country? Never mind....... Remember to all keep voting for Keith as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riane Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 When the voting comes back on my daughter Elisabeth is singing her little lungs out on Barlborough Hall School entry..please vote tvmx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The whole thing seems to be a farce doesn't it - do they not know how popular the series is? - and consequently, just how popular the choirs part is going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Duncans school is STILL not on the site, despite the fact that apparantly it appeared briefly last Tuesday. The headmistress is fuming, and has fired off a couple of stroppy emails to the BBC about it, as have I, but we just keep getting blanket responses back.

Paola Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Just tried to vote and they have suspended it due to the high levels of traffic and extended the deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Why on earth haven't they put an alphabetical search facility into the site. Who has the time to trawl through 51 pages? The school I intend to vote for has vanished although I know for certain that it was entered early last week. Amateurs. (The website designer not "my" school). The organisers are saying that they didn't anticipate the volume of interest. Amateurs. (Their marketing / research people). Harrumph!!!!
