How long does the event last?

Will I be on camera?
Due to security, we won’t be able to see all of our wonderful singers. However, we encourage everyone to record themselves singing along during their broadcast and share with us on social media using the hashtags, #YVWickedSingalong.
We’ll be posting on Instagram and Facebook throughout the day, and we’d love to hear from you!
How can my family and friends watch my performance if I am not on camera during the broadcast?
We recommend setting up a video recording of your performance before the performance starts so you’re ready. Then, your family can watch you perform while you sing along with Young Voices.
What if I can’t make 3pm UK time?
Don’t worry! The broadcast will be recorded, and you can access it after 3pm if necessary.
