Commonweal Students go viral on Facebook.
When students performed recently at Quarry Mount nursing home little did they realise that a 50 second video taken on their teacher’s phone would go viral on Facebook!
“When I got to school this morning, the person who does our social media told me how many people had viewed it, I was stunned,” said Ali Sutcliffe, Head of Performing Arts.
Since being uploaded at 4pm on Thursday 21st April, the video has been viewed over 74.3 k times with Facebook saying it has now reached 896,155 people. Ali added: “I just thought wow – I went to see the girls and they were ecstatic.”
The group in the video include Charlotte Delfino, Holly Snowdon, Emma Skane-Lawrence, Eve Batten and Emma Booth. All five study GCSE music and perform in the choir.
Emma Skane-Lawrence said: “It’s a bit crazy, it’s only a small video so we really weren’t expecting it. It’s the first time we have sung that song – it’s normally a solo but we thought we could do our own version so we put a little arrangement together.”
Fellow performer Eve added: “We’re just a group of five friends who thought we could do something different with the song.
“When my friend sent me a picture showing me how many people had watched it I just couldn’t believe it.”
