Thread Name: What schools have done to folk music
Subject: RE: What schools have done to folk music
I thoroughly enjoyed singing at senior school. We had two choirs, - junior and senior, an orchestra (the usual classical type) - and a choral society that performed a Gilbert and Sulivan opera each year. Again, the 'folk' songs tended to be 'arranged' and were not that inspiring for any, would be, budding folkies. We did manage to perform Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, one year and that was great fun.
