0:00:02 > 0:00:06- 10 kids terrified of singing in public..- Hey, don't cry.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08- I don't want to do it. - This is frightening.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09This is really frightening.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13..must undergo their toughest performance challenges.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15You must be EXTRA nervous.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17I'm still shaking and I don't know why.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18To face their ultimate fear -
0:00:18 > 0:00:24singing to a crowd of 40,000 people at Proms in the Park.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27There's enough people there to eat you alive.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31I just can't explain how I feel. I'm just really scared.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35The day has come, but are they ready?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38What has happened to the actions?
0:00:38 > 0:00:42You've got to project and they're not. It's not a performance.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46I have said "smile" till I am blue in the face.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Miriyah and everyone's nervous. Even Gareth's nervous.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53As their challenging journey reaches its climax.
0:00:53 > 0:00:5811 weeks of work and now it all comes down to three minutes on that stage.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04Can they do it? This is The Big Performance.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Over the past 11 weeks, these novice singers
0:01:30 > 0:01:34have been on a sensational singing tour.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40In a bid to banish their performance nerves and build their confidence.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Hey, hey, I don't want you to cry.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46They've been set a series of nail-biting challenges.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Are you ready?- No.- I'm not going.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52From singing in front of the coolest boys in school.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I hate singing in front of boys. It's really scary.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58To strutting down the street like Lady Gaga.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Choirmaster Gareth Malone has spent 11 weeks attempting
0:02:02 > 0:02:05to banish their extreme stage fright.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06But has he done enough to prepare them
0:02:06 > 0:02:11for an audience of 40,000 people?
0:02:11 > 0:02:17Last time, the group had their first rehearsal with the 80-piece BBC Concert Orchestra.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25They performed live to eight million people
0:02:25 > 0:02:28on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Morning, children.- Morning. - You must be EXTRA nervous.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37And Gareth revealed who had secured the sought-after solo spot.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Miriyah.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Yes!
0:02:41 > 0:02:47Today, after 11 weeks of hard work, they face their final test.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Have they found their voices and the confidence to pull it off?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53This is it.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57The Big Performance.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05It's the day before the big performance.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09The group have just 24 hours left to get their routine up to scratch.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13As the tour bus makes its way to the last destination,
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Hyde Park in central London, preparations are under way for Proms in the Park.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20What I really want to get today is the sense
0:03:20 > 0:03:22that it's starting to happen.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27They'll see the lights, all the people rehearsing, the stage technicians,
0:03:27 > 0:03:32everything being put together for this performance, cos that's what gets you excited.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I think they think that Proms in the Park is people drinking cups of tea.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39And it's like a rock concert, it's a huge, huge event.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42This outdoor concert was first held
0:03:42 > 0:03:4814 years ago to capitalise on the success of the Last Night of the Proms. It's grown in popularity
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and, as well as Hyde Park,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52there are now events held all over the UK
0:03:52 > 0:03:55to a combined audience of 80,000 people.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00This is Hyde Park, where, tomorrow, you are going to be
0:04:00 > 0:04:03performing in front of 40,000 people at Proms in the Park.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Miriyah, you're doing the solo. How are you feeling?
0:04:07 > 0:04:08How does that make you feel?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I think it's going to be, like, really scary.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I need you to dig deep
0:04:14 > 0:04:16and give more than you've given to anything
0:04:16 > 0:04:19in your entire lives. That's the sort of commitment we need.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22We mustn't get complacent.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25We've got work to do. Once we're on stage, we can't improve it any more.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27There's time to improve.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Right? Who wants to go and have a look round?- Me!- Let's go.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39This is the first time the group have seen where they will be performing.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43This is what Proms in the Park actually looks like.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48When I first came in I was like, "Whoa!"
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Cos the stage is huge
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I can't believe that we'll be performing there.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56We're nervous. Miriyah's nervous and everyone's nervous.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Even Gareth's nervous.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00This is the biggest week of my life.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I've never done anything like this.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I'm standing in front of 40,000 people,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08conducting kids, who, until a few weeks ago, could barely sing.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13This is one of the biggest events in music in the whole country.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I cannot overstate how big and important this is.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- Who wants to look around?- Me! - Let's go.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Proms in he Park is a massive event broadcast live on television every year.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- Guys!- It takes 12 days to set the whole thing up.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Gareth's group will be rubbing shoulders
0:05:37 > 0:05:41with some of the world's most respected musical stars.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44THEY LAUGH
0:05:44 > 0:05:49And just like Gareth, they've even got their own dressing rooms.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54It feels brilliant to have our own dressing room.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56This is sick.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59This is amazing.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I feel like a real celebrity, actually,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03especially with the mirror.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08I'm really happy that we got a dressing room,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10and I'm really excited.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Will the group be able to use this nervous energy
0:06:13 > 0:06:16and excitement in their first technical rehearsal?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Welcome to the stage.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What do you think?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28This is where you're going to be singing tomorrow.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Take a look out there, right to the back. It will be full of people.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37You can see how big this is going to be tomorrow.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Who thinks we need to rehearse our movements?- Me!- Yeah.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Come on, let's go and sort it out, shall we? Off we go.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47The group get miked up like pop stars, ready for their rehearsal
0:06:47 > 0:06:50with the BBC Concert Orchestra on this daunting stage.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I thought the stage was much bigger than I thought it was going to be.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55It's ginormous.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56It's absolutely massive.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00# Yeah, you and me we can ride on a star
0:07:00 > 0:07:04# If you stay with me, girl
0:07:04 > 0:07:07# We can rule the world
0:07:07 > 0:07:13# You and me we can light up the sky... #
0:07:17 > 0:07:19To pull off a performance worthy of this stage
0:07:19 > 0:07:24and a 40,000-strong crowd takes huge confidence.
0:07:24 > 0:07:32# We can rule the world. #
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Everybody looked a little bit terrified. I think we need...
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I know that you can do better. What has happened to the actions?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Gareth is concerned that they still don't have enough confidence.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I need to make sure that their performance is going right to the back.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56It's no good just looking like this and singing for yourself.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58You have got to project. And at the moment, they're not.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00It's not a performance.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Sing to me.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06# Don't close your eyes
0:08:06 > 0:08:10# Don't fade away
0:08:10 > 0:08:13# Don't fade away
0:08:13 > 0:08:16# Oh, yeah, you and me. #
0:08:16 > 0:08:20The performance is lacking energy and enthusiasm.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23But even more worrying, there's zero choreography.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It needs work.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39It was just the moves and how we looked on stage and everything.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- It was just messed up.- I didn't think that rehearsal went too good,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46but I know I was putting effort into it and smiling.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47I don't want to say any names,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51but I don't think everyone was putting in as much effort as Miriyah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53We've got 24 hours before we've got to perform
0:08:53 > 0:08:58and we need to practise hard. Practise, practise, practise.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01You say "smile" and they say, "I AM smiling."
0:09:01 > 0:09:02But they're not smiling enough.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05It's very frustrating because it's such a small thing.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08If they could just enjoy it. But it's got to come from them.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10They've got to find a way to LOVE it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21After their disastrous rehearsal, Gareth arranges
0:09:21 > 0:09:25an emergency practice to try and put their performance back on track.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Right opposite the Royal Albert Hall is the Royal College of Music,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32home to many successful musicians and composers
0:09:32 > 0:09:36including chart-topping start Mika and classical violinist Vanessa-Mae.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Let's hope some of their magic will rub off on the group.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45It's felt today... I've been asking some of you to smile
0:09:45 > 0:09:49in the performance and I keep saying it and it never quite gets there.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52We never quite get to the point where we're enjoying it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54If THEY don't love their performance,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56the crowd won't either.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Just smiling could completely transform them.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I've brought somebody along to help you with this stuff.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Somebody who saw you quite early on -
0:10:05 > 0:10:08in fact, it was when we were only halfway through -
0:10:08 > 0:10:11and who I think can give you a little bit of advice
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and really comment on how far you've come.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Come in, Barney.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Top CBBC presenter Barney Harwood surprised the group in Liverpool
0:10:21 > 0:10:25when he turned up to share some top tips on voice projection.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28At the moment, you sound like you're sort of really quiet.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29In a box.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32You're going to go, "Raaah!"
0:10:32 > 0:10:34The clock's ticking to show time and Barney's back
0:10:34 > 0:10:38with some much-needed advice and encouragement.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I'm talking to you like this, talking about normal things
0:10:41 > 0:10:43and my voice goes quite low, like that.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Your face drops. You've suddenly become serious.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48If I'm like this and my eyes are open,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52look at you smiling, your mouth's bigger and your teeth are showing
0:10:52 > 0:10:53because I'm showing you how I feel
0:10:53 > 0:10:55and you're reacting to it.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57So the more you smile,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59the more you show that you're enjoying yourself,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02the more the audience enjoy what you're doing.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04To help them really understand,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07the singers need to see it for themselves.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Stand in front of the mirror and smile all the way through.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Look at your posture, how you're standing.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Get the chin up, nice and tall. Ready? Here we go.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20"If walls..." Everybody. One, two...
0:11:20 > 0:11:21ALL: # If walls... #
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Look in the mirror. Sing to yourself.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28It was a bit embarrassing because you're looking at yourself singing
0:11:28 > 0:11:31but, like, I kind of understand how he's coming from
0:11:31 > 0:11:35because if we weren't singing with a smile, it just looks rubbish.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37OK, here we go.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40One, two...
0:11:40 > 0:11:43ALL: # You know... #
0:11:45 > 0:11:49You've got such a nice smile, and then you get all serious.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53And singing is serious, but now's the time to really have fun.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55OK, here we go. One, two, three.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57ALL: # If all... #
0:11:57 > 0:12:01It's very, very important that they smile and they enjoy it
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and that they don't look horrified on stage
0:12:03 > 0:12:05because it doesn't communicate well
0:12:05 > 0:12:08to an audience if you look... really scared.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12The exercise is that you're using the mirror to look at yourself,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15really ask yourself, "Am I smiling all the way through?"
0:12:15 > 0:12:19So that means... I mean, I have said, "Smile!"
0:12:19 > 0:12:23until I am blue in the face and they just keep not smiling
0:12:23 > 0:12:26and I think we have to really hammer it home.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30ALL: # If angels cry
0:12:30 > 0:12:35# Oh, I'll be there for you... #
0:12:35 > 0:12:39After 11 hard weeks of musical training, it's time for Gareth
0:12:39 > 0:12:41to let go of the reins.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44This is a big moment in your lives. This is a growing-up moment.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48You have to go out there and shoulder that responsibility
0:12:48 > 0:12:51and be tough, be strong, be incredibly brave.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Tomorrow you can feel fantastic if you give it everything.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59You put in so much energy trying to get them
0:12:59 > 0:13:02to give a performance and, ultimately, you can't do it for them.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05They've now got to do it.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07We all need to make ourselves look good
0:13:07 > 0:13:11because if something goes wrong, we've only got one chance.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12No second chances.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14We can't restart it and we can't stop,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16so we need to think about that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I'm starting to fret. I really am.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23There's nothing else to be done now. We just have to go and do it.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41The big day has dawned and the group are in good spirits,
0:13:41 > 0:13:46ready to face their final and most important performance challenge.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51I can't believe it's today! It's just today! Ooh, I'm so excited!
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I've realised that now, that whole area over there
0:13:56 > 0:13:59is going to be full of people.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01So now you can sort of see where everyone's going to go
0:14:01 > 0:14:03and how many people there will be.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It's getting a bit nerve-racking.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I can't believe it. Today is the day.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I hope they're well-rested.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Because in about eight hours,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14they will be on that stage in front of 40,000 people.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17There's one final sound check and rehearsal
0:14:17 > 0:14:21and Gareth is still concerned about the missing choreography.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23They've been taught the choreography
0:14:23 > 0:14:24and totally forgotten it.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I won't let them waste this opportunity.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I want them to walk off that stage feeling they did
0:14:32 > 0:14:34the best that they could.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Last week, tap-dance teacher to the stars, Kevin Adams,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40taught the group a routine.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43But the pressure of the big performance
0:14:43 > 0:14:45has got the better of them
0:14:45 > 0:14:48and their dance moves have gone out the window.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55With six hours to go to the big performance,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Gareth calls for backup.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Kevin, thank you so much for coming. We have a bit of a situation.- I know!
0:15:03 > 0:15:08The moves have just disappeared. The singing is fine, but we need you.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09- After you.- Thank you, sir.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Kevin's arrived just in time. The group are in serious trouble.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29If they can't find their groove, the performance will be ruined.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37You can see. You can see what the problem is.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40The choreography's gone. The performance faces, gone.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Yeah, everything's gone.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Hi, everyone. ALL: Hi.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Right, Kevin is here to sort out the choreography.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48What did you think, Kevin?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's like your reaction when we came in the door.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52"Hi..."
0:15:52 > 0:15:56It lacks energy and it lacks the brightness that we had
0:15:56 > 0:15:59when we last did it.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Now, gone are the happy faces.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Gone are the arm movements and gone is the enthusiasm!
0:16:04 > 0:16:10- Can we get it back?- Yes.- Oh. Can we get it back?- Yes!- OK, definitely.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Let's go from the beginning.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Yeah, that's a good way.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18As Kevin goes over the moves, it's clear where the problem lies.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20See?
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Paying no attention.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It's hard, like, to sing while you've got to look
0:16:25 > 0:16:28and you've got to prove to people that you're enjoying it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30You have got to prove to yourself.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35It's hard because you've got to do two things at the same time.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38But you've got to do, like, two at the same time.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39You have to smile.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- I think I do.- Yeah, I know.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45You do think you're smiling and, inside, you are enjoying it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- I thought I was smiling! I was like...- No, no. It's not like that.
0:16:48 > 0:16:54I am so glad that Kevin came to us because we just didn't know.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58We were like, "What are we supposed to be doing?"
0:16:58 > 0:16:59If you sing it with enthusiasm,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02the moves will happen with enthusiasm
0:17:02 > 0:17:03OK?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07ALL: # You and me we can ride on the stars
0:17:07 > 0:17:08# If you stay with me, girl
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- # We can rule the world... #- Good!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15# You and me, we can light up the sky
0:17:15 > 0:17:21# If you stay by my side We can rule the world. #
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Fantastic!- Yay! Thank you.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Do it like that tonight and make it just as enthusiastic
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and just as big, and remember your faces are the most important thing
0:17:29 > 0:17:32because they'll be projected on the big screen,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35really, really enormously. Good luck.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36ALL: Thank you.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Thank you, Kevin. Thank you so much.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Kevin's taught them a fantastic routine, I've taught them to sing,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47and now it's over to them. I'm just desperate for them to do it justice.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I think that I'm very, like, passionate
0:17:49 > 0:17:51and, like, determined to do my best in everything.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55I'm going to remember my moves and, like, to smile when I'm on stage
0:17:55 > 0:17:59because that's, like, the final, like, the big, massive performance.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02If we just remember them, then we'll do OK,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06but if we just forget them, then everything's going to go down.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I want to come off stage and say, "You did it, you got there."
0:18:10 > 0:18:12And I just don't know if it's going to be like that.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It is almost show time.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23We need to have our hair and make-up perfect.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25We need to be warmed up to perform,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28and most importantly, we need to have our outfits on,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31so the countdown has begun, let's go and get ready for the show.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34The concert gates are open.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36There's just a three hours to go
0:18:36 > 0:18:41until the group face the biggest performance of their lives.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43And, just like the celebrities performing tonight,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46they need to look the part.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52While the kids are distracted in make-up,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54there's no lack such luck for Gareth.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Two hours till the show,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59and I'm really starting to feel the nerves now,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Butterflies in my tummy are really kicking in.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07One hour to go.
0:19:07 > 0:19:0911 weeks of work.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12And now it all comes down to three minutes on that stage.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I've got to go and get changed, I look a complete mess.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17The crowd are in place.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Our singers are ready to take to the stage.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Have they got the guts to give it their all?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Welcome.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It can only be Proms in the Park 2010.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35CHEERING
0:19:35 > 0:19:38When Gareth first met the group, they barely had the nerve
0:19:38 > 0:19:40to sing in front of him.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41I can't.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42You just did.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Here we go, big breath.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49# Twinkle, twinkle, little star... #
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Now they must find the courage
0:19:51 > 0:19:55to perform to a crowd of 40,000 people.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's incredible, what you've achieved,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00and you've put yourselves through this unbelievable trial.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It's been an absolute pleasure working with you, it's been great.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Watching you all grow in confidence,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08really watching you all grow up right in front of me.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I'm really proud of what we've achieved.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I want you to go out there, show your best sides, yeah?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Your absolute best, because that's what
0:20:17 > 0:20:19the audience are going to want to see,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21and that's what will make all your parents proud.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Yes?- Yeah.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Please welcome our old friend, the incomparable Jose Carreras.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31There's nothing more Gareth can do.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36It's time for the group to take their places backstage.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Listen to that, that is terrifying.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I just hope they do a good job,
0:20:40 > 0:20:45because there's enough people there, quite frankly, to eat you alive.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- It's getting scary now, isn't it? - It's cool.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57The nerves are at fever pitch,
0:20:57 > 0:21:01but the group has gained a lot of support over the past 11 weeks.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Guys, you're about to go on stage, 40,000 people in the Proms.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I know you're nervous, but, guys, smile,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10enjoy it, because it'll be over just like that.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14You've learned stage presence, how to hold yourself, how to perform
0:21:14 > 0:21:15and now's your big chance.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19The audience love you, and so do I, good luck.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20You will be nervous.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Accept those nerves, embrace those nerves
0:21:23 > 0:21:26and enjoy it for every second,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28because it'll be over before you know it.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Eat it up, blow them away at Proms in the Park. Good luck.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Good luck, guys!- Good luck, guys! - Good luck!
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Good luck!- You're going to smash it, come on!
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Please welcome to Proms in the Park, Gareth Malone.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50As Gareth is called on stage to introduce the group,
0:21:50 > 0:21:55they catch sight of their parents in the 40,000-strong crowd.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I'm really scared for Jordan, and for the rest of the kids,
0:21:58 > 0:21:59and I wish them all luck.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03I'm so nervous for him. I think I'm more nervous than he is!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- She's brought her family with her. - The family's in, yes.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Here they come.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09The moment has arrived.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Their proud parents are cheering them on,
0:22:11 > 0:22:16willing them to hold it together and deliver the performance of a lifetime.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17You can tell me who they are,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20you're going to conduct them,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- and Miriyah's going to sing the solo.- Thank you.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:37 > 0:25:39That's the biggest cheer of the night.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41The Big Performance.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43They were brilliant!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45They were just amazing, unbelievable.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I'm crying now.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Considering how frightened Oli was singing in our house,
0:25:50 > 0:25:51to see him singing up there
0:25:51 > 0:25:54and looking confident was absolutely amazing.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57It's amazing. Thank you!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00For Howard to perform live on the stage
0:26:00 > 0:26:03in an event as big as this is an awesome of achievement for him.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08I'm immensely proud, well done, The Big Performance!
0:26:11 > 0:26:13We're amazing!
0:26:16 > 0:26:18That was scary!
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Yes, yes, yes, yes. It was brilliant.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27You did such a fantastic job, I'm so proud of you.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29That took such nerve, it was brilliant.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35I've just made my family proud, and especially my dad,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37because my dad was just like crying.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I've just made my dad proud,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41he's the proudest dad in the whole wide world.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I think we can do anything.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46We can go anywhere and sing in front of millions of people.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47I think we could take on the whole world.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I so want to do it again, I want to do it a million times more!
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I think the audience is now on my side,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I just think I can conquer anything in my life now.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00It's just amazing to think that, until a few weeks ago,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03they couldn't sing in front of their own parents,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06and through music and performing, they've got confidence.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08They did it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13These 10 children were once so desperately shy
0:27:13 > 0:27:17they never dreamt of being able to sing in front of such a massive crowd.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22But tonight, they did.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Next time on The Big Performance,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29find out how Gareth took this group of 10 shy singers
0:27:29 > 0:27:31on a musical journey of a lifetime.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34It was all worth it, because it all came together,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and on that stage in front of that audience,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39at that moment, they found confidence.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- And transformed them from petrified performers...- I'm not doing it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44..into sensational singers.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46My family hardly recognises who I am.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50They're really proud of me and I'm really proud of myself.
