"A beautiful performance, which was incredibly easy to stage"

This school musical is ideal for any leavers’ assembly, but works beautifully all year round. There are six songs and two pieces of music to dance to, and one song has an optional three-part harmony for your stronger singers. Simple readings from narrators link the songs, so it’s very easy to stage, and backing tracks are included, so there’s no need for a pianist. With PowerPoint scenery, printable sheet music and more, you’ve got everything you need for a straightforward, stunning children’s musical. More end-of-year ideas? Browse our leavers’ assemblies.

Several narrators’ parts, one main solo part, and anything from 12 to 90+ extra walk-on and dancing parts (depending on the size of your stage!).

Stick exactly to the script and the musical runs for roughly 25 minutes. You can easily shorten it by about 10 minutes or lengthen it by up to 20 – the detailed ‘Production Notes’ in your purchase show you how.

No – there are no religious references of any kind.

We know from experience that this performance can be taught to a group of children in about a week. Every group is different, though, so please listen to the songs and look through the script before deciding how much time your pupils will need.

BEAUTIFUL

"This is a beautiful performance, which was incredibly easy to stage for our end of year production. In truth there is very little to it. No long script, no big parts for the children to learn (which was actually a godsend during these busy months), just a few catchy, clever songs with easy but effective harmony lines. For the two pieces of "music to dance to" we just had the children moving around the stage in a 'V' formation, with arms 'flying' up and down at the same time as each other, nothing special, but it still looked great. Very easy to learn and perform. The only slight difficulty we had was with costumes, but once we'd worked out a simple way of doing bird costumes we were fine. Each child wore a simple half mask, with a downward pointing triangle for a beak, with coloured capes, tied round their necks and wrists. In the end, many parents and colleagues said they'd never seen a performance like it and were very complimentary. The Flight of the Songbirds is a very original idea, which I would gladly recommend."
