-West is best! | 0:00:01 | 0:00:03 | |
-It's a remarkable story. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
-The story of a group of schoolgirls -who started on a journey... | 0:00:06 | 0:00:11 | |
-..that began -in a rehearsal room in Drefach. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
-They were crowned Welsh champions. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
-They're now part of the greatest -TV choral competition in history. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:24 | |
-Eurovision. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
-This is the story -of Cor Merched Sir Gar... | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
-..and their journey from West Wales -to Riga and the rest of Europe. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
-Before we look forward, -let's look back. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
-Last October, -the girls started preparing... | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
-..for the Cor Cymru competition. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
-# Lift up the name of Jesus | 0:00:51 | 0:00:57 | |
-# Then you want to praise him | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
-# Say a prayer # | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
-50 girls -from seven different schools. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-Some speak Welsh, some don't, -but they all have talent. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
-What better way to celebrate than -by gathering everyone together... | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-..singers, families and supporters, -to reminisce. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-The drum roll was so long, -I couldn't wait for it to end. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
-When it did, it was incredible -to hear our choir. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
-It was, like, wow. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
-Cor Merched Sir Gar. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
-I thought it was a mistake at first. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
-It was such a shock. We all -gathered together and celebrated. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
-Islwyn's face was my highlight. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
-It was a huge shock for us. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
-I'd never competed -on a national stage before. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
-To realise we were in the top four -was a shock. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
-The choir impressed us -for singing with such conviction... | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
-..with sensitivity, -often musically perfect. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-# Beth yw'r haf i mi | 0:02:14 | 0:02:20 | |
-# Dim ond gaeaf llwm -a dagrau'n lli # | 0:02:20 | 0:02:26 | |
-One of my favourite moments -of singing on stage... | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
-..is singing Beth Yw'r Haf I Mi? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
-The atmosphere we create -as a choir is very special. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
-# Gariad bach er crwydro'n ffol | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
-If anyone makes a mistake, -it's so obvious. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-You have to be really careful. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-When we get it right, -it's effective. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-# Beth yw'r haf i mi? | 0:02:55 | 0:03:02 | |
-# Dim ond hirlwm -ers pan gollais ti # | 0:03:02 | 0:03:11 | |
-In terms of the judges, what -got us through the semi-final... | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
-..was songs -one, two, three and four. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-The song everyone enjoyed singing -was song five... | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
-..Going To The Holy City. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
-According to the adjudication... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-..that's not the one -that hit the spot. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-# Goin' to the holy city | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
-# I'm going -to leave this world behind # | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
-They didn't fully invest -in exploring a new sound. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
-What I want to see is almost -a completely different choir... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-..singing pieces -from a different musical genre. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-# I'm going to live eternally | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
-# Yes, I'm going to the holy city -won't you come and go with me? # | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
-I know the girls had a lot of fun -and the comments were encouraging. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:06 | |
-They've got tremendous potential. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
-If they do that on an hour a week, -the sky's the limit. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
-A chance to look forward -to the final. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
-Islwyn was aware that their -weakest song in the semi-final... | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
-..was the gospel song, -Goin' To The Holy City. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-Any other conductor would -have shied away from the genre... | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
-..but not Islwyn Evans. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-In the final, the panel -were treated to a gospel medley. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
-# If you came to praise him | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
-# Say Amen | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
-# If you came to praise him | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
-# Say Amen | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
-# If you came to lift up -the name of Jesus | 0:04:50 | 0:04:56 | |
-# Then you ought to praise him -and say Amen | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
-# Say Amen # | 0:05:02 | 0:05:08 | |
-The gamble paid off handsomely -and the plaudits followed. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
-Right from the get-go, -you could tell they were special. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
-Whey they performed that gospel -medley, it was a special moment. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
-The winners are... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
-..Cor Merched Sir Gar. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
-It was such an incredible feeling. -It was great. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
-I thought the performance -was unbelievable. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
-Fantastic. We're so proud of them. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
-I still can't believe it. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-I've won in the past -with other choirs... | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
-..but this was quite a challenge. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-I don't see this choir -as often as I see the other choirs. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
-You saw the response -when the announcement was made. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-The girls were over the moon. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
-Before the announcement, -not that Islwyn had noticed... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-..a separate announcement -was made backstage. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
-Imagine the thrill -of representing your country... | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
-..in a live global TV competition... | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-..against some of the best choirs -in Europe. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
-It took a few seconds -for it to sink in. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
-We were going to Latvia! | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
-We were so happy we'd won. Then we -realised we were going to Latvia. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
-I couldn't get my head -around that at all. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
-That was put to one side. We'd cross -that bridge when we got to it. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
-Suddenly, -it's presented in front of you... | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
-..and, well, it was... | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-..well, -it's one of the greatest honours... | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-..for us as a choir, -and for me as a conductor. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-The land of song on tour. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-As an additional surprise -for the girls.... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-..Scarlets' No.10 Rhys Patchell -called by... | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-..with some words of advice. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
-I don't often come down -and speak to choirs! | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-Rugby clubs, usually, or schools. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
-I know that everyone locally -supports you 100%. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-I'm sure you'll do Wales, -your schools, your families... | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
-..and all your supporters proud -if you have pride in yourselves. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
-Good luck to you, enjoy the -experience, enjoy every minute... | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
-..because, 5, 10, 15 years from now, -you'll look back at this... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:05 | |
-..and realise how cool it was. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-Good luck. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |

-..and enjoy the experience. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |

-It's something they'll remember -for the rest of their lives. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-It's absolutely amazing. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-They'll look back on it -with great pride and fond memories. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |

-Our daughter's -flying out afterwards. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-We've changed -all of our arrangements for it. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-It's so important for her to -take part, that had to come first. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-I've had choirs at Llangollen's -Choir of the World competition. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:06 | |
-Those are scintillating nights. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-This is... | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-..a lot, lot more. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-It's difficult to appreciate -the enormity of the night. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
-Eurovision, we're on our way. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-We now understand -how and why the choir reached Riga. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
-Are they truly ready -for the enormity of the challenge? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |

-..of 8,000 people... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-..and a global audience of millions. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
-No pressure. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
-When you realise that the choir -didn't meet until June 21... | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-..you can understand why Islwyn -is feeling the pressure. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
-Cor Cymru is one thing. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-We have weeks of hard work -ahead of us to prepare... | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |

-Four weeks to master -the new repertoire. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
-With a few months -having passed since Cor Cymru... | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
-..there's only one place to start - -technique. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-Grrrr! | 0:11:20 | 0:11:21 | |
-Grrrr! - -Grrrr! | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
-Ooooooah! | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
-Ooooooah! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
-He has very strange techniques. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
-Buh! You have to copy it perfectly -or you do it again. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
-Buh! | 0:11:37 | 0:11:38 | |
-Stronger. Buh! | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-Buh! | 0:11:40 | 0:11:41 | |
-One of his techniques -is singing by numbers. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-# One, five, four, three # | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
-It really makes us work together -and think clearly. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
-# One, three | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
-# Two, one # | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
-Sometimes he changes the language - -we sing in French, Spanish. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
-# Cinq, un, deux, trois | 0:12:04 | 0:12:09 | |
-# Deux, trois # | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
-Islwyn is a great conductor. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-He's a perfectionist, -he works us hard... | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
-..but he likes having lots of fun. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
-We'd all be lost without him... | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
-..and we wouldn't be where we are -now so we're very grateful to him. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
-The girls come from -seven different schools. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
-What kind of personalities -have you encountered? | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
-They're very different -as you'd expect teenage girls to be. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-Some are boisterous. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:49 | |
-We're very talkative. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
-We're on our phones a lot. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
-OK, thank you, stop talking. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
-The variety makes the team, -doesn't it? | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
-I give them a mouthful -for talking too much... | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
-..but, at the end of the day, they -know when to put the phones away... | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
-..and crack on with the work. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
-In Carmarthenshire, we're interested -in children's holistic development. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
-Extra-curricular activities -help shape the complete child. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
-Music teaches us about creativity. -You use creativity in other fields. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
-Creativity in science, -languages and mathematics. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
-We're working with schools... | 0:13:34 | 0:13:35 | |
-..to face the funding challenge -over the next few years. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
-Schools appreciate music's value -as part of an extended curriculum. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:45 | |
-We've had a lot of experiences -with the county choir. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
-We sang in Birmingham's -Symphony Hall with Music For Youth. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
-We went through from there -to sing in Royal Albert Hall. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
-It was an unforgettable experience. -It was amazing. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
-We went to watch Wicked. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
-That was incredible. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
-Caterina is the only girl -from Ysgol Dyffryn Taf. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
-Mother Tina realises the value -of being part of this choir. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:17 | |
-Being in the choir has given me -more confidence in myself. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:22 | |
-She was so shy but going -to these different places... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-..all these girls she's never been -with, brought her out of herself. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
-It's helped me -understand Welsh more. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
-I can understand it a lot more. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
-It's really good, -a really good feeling. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
-Life skills, unforgettable -experiences and lifelong friends. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:42 | |
-It's what being part -of a choir means to you. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-It all stems from hard work... | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
-..and the girls' insistence -on accepting nothing but the best... | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
-..be that tiddly-winks -or a game of rounders on the beach. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-The desire to win is evident. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
-The challenge for you, -as it is for nine European choirs... | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
-..is choosing -a six-minute repertoire. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-When I first heard that it -was six minutes, I just laughed. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:14 | |
-I thought they were pulling my leg. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
-Of course, -you want to open with a song... | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
-..that grabs the attention -of the audience and judges. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
-You want a special finale. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
-As a filling to the sandwich, you -want something that scores points... | 0:15:30 | 0:15:36 | |
-..but there's not enough time. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
-# Hoj hura hoj, -hura hoj, hura hoj, hura hoj | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
-# Hura hoj, hura hoj, -hura hoj, hura hoj, hura hoj # | 0:15:43 | 0:15:50 | |
-I had a short conversation -with the judges after Cor Cymru... | 0:15:50 | 0:15:56 | |
-..and we were both agreed -on Hoj Hura Hoj, the Czech song. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
-It's a four-part choir but there -are solos for three of the girls. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
-The image we're trying to create... | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
-..of shouting across the valley -and the echo returning... | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
-..is very effective. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
-We're there to represent Wales -and without a doubt... | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
-..one of the pieces -must be sung in Welsh. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-# Mil harddach | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
-In addition to being -a Welsh folk melody... | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
-..it will act as a contrast -to the first and last song. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:53 | |
-# Na'r rhosyn coch ar ael y bryn | 0:16:53 | 0:17:02 | |
-# Na'r alarch | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-In Cor Cymru, quiet pieces work. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-It surprises me that many conductors -shy away from quiet pieces. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:15 | |
-Sometimes, when they think -something is quiet... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-..I believe -you can take it quieter still. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-# Mwy swynol yw dy chwerthin mwyn | 0:17:26 | 0:17:34 | |
-# Na chan y fronfraith yn y llwyn | 0:17:35 | 0:17:44 | |
-# Na murmur mor uwchben y twyn | 0:17:44 | 0:17:53 | |
-# Fy maban bach # | 0:17:53 | 0:18:03 | |
-This is the song -that could put you on the map. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:11 | |
-What's the finale? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
-What's the finale? - -Wade In The Water by Norman Luboff. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-# Wade, wade, wade in the water | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
-# Wade, wade, wade in the water | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
-# Wade, wade, wade in the water | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
-# God is gonna trouble the waters | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
-We have seven, -eight voices at times. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
-We reach a higher level -than we reached in Cor Cymru. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
-We have to stretch the girls... | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-..to perform -well out of their comfort zone. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-# See that band all dressed in red | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-Eyes! | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
-So far, -they've accepted the challenge... | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
-..and we'll see how it goes. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
-# God is gonna trouble -these waters # | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
-Alaw and Bethan, -if you feel nervous backstage... | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
-..how do you control that, -as soloists? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
-I breathe. I don't know what you do. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
-I breathe deeply and before -going on, I do some star jumps. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
-Just to get my mind off the solo. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
-Star jumps is the answer? | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
-Backstage at the eisteddfod, -I do star jumps. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-Alaw's on her own in the corner! | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-Challenging pieces -aren't enough for Islwyn. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
-He wants an extra ingredient -to create the perfect dish. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:36 | |
-Lauren is something else. -She's fantastic. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-You're too lazy at the moment. -Wake up. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
-She knows what a choir needs - -she's not just creating a show. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
-Sometimes it's just the slightest -move and the girls understand it. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:52 | |
-Remember the audience - I'm not -asking you to go all the way around. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
-Just here or the other side. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
-They're lovely, they're disciplined, -they're like sponges... | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
-..but because -they concentrate so much... | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
-..you lose that spark, -that energy, that enthusiasm. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
-They just want to get things right, -which is lovely... | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
-..but to be able -to perform something like this... | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
-..we've got to be ready to let go. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
-It's a very difficult process. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
-When you turn your head, -you need the expression... | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
-..you need to think... | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
-She's very strict. She knows what -she wants and she's a perfectionist. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:38 | |
-Islwyn's a perfectionist and Lauren -wants every move on point. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:43 | |
-No, it's too slow. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
-You're too nice. You need to be -more slick. Five, six, seven and go. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
-No. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:52 | |
-This was meant to be simple. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
-This was meant to be simple. - -She's energetic and enthusiastic. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
-She makes us feel enthusiastic -about dancing... | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
-..even when it makes us -feel nervous. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
-They're going for it, it's amazing. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
-You're competing against -eight choirs from across Europe. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
-How many choirs -are you familiar with? | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
-Which ones -are your greatest threats? | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
-One of the choirs, -the Estonian TV Girls' Choir... | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
-..we've come across them -in competitions. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
-The countries involved, -Estonia, Latvia... | 0:21:36 | 0:21:41 | |
-..Hungary, Germany, Belgium... | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
-..there's a strong choral tradition -in those countries. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:51 | |
-Living in our small world.... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
-..thinking we're the king pins -of the choral world... | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
-..but when we participate in -a competition of this magnitude... | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
-..I think we're a small fish -in a big pond. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
-I've already told them that -along the journey... | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
-..as we've been rehearsing. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
-Some of you, maybe, -will perform on stages... | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
-..in grand arenas -with huge audiences. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
-For the majority of us, -99% of you and me... | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
-..this will be -the greatest stage for us... | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-..during our choral careers. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
-Preparations are complete, -there's no turning back now. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
-The bags and the bus are ready -but are the girls ready? | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
-Good luck to Islwyn and the girls. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
-Between you and me... | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
-..I don't think the girls -have any idea of what awaits them. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
-Eight of Europe's best choirs and an -Eurovision TV audience of millions. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:17 | |
-Wow, oh, my gosh. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:25 | |
-It's massive. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:28 | |
-It's massive. - -Wow. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:29 | |
-Welcome to Arena Riga. -This is it, this is the place. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
