The 3 days were packed with rehearsals, a cinema trip, campfire and battle of the bands event.   The festival culminated in a wonderful showcase concert on the Friday afternoon with parents in attendance.  We were also privileged to witness a special performance by the Najd Choir, the first mixed choir in Saudi Arabia and golden buzzer winners of Arabs Got Talent, who delighted us with a selection of Arabic and popular songs.   An inspirational experience for all.
