‘Music Count Us In’ song

Posted by in Events, Performing Arts

Every year we learn the ‘Music Count Us In’ song, which was created by selected students from different states of Australia and recorded by students under the guidance of the Program Ambassador John Foreman. Foundations, Year 1s and 2s have been practising the song ‘We Are’ in preparation for Thursday 7th November at 12.30 when thousands of students around Australia will be performing the same song at the same time.

For more information please go to the link: https://musicaustralia.org.au/program/countusin/

We have our own moves to the song but the students enjoyed attempting sign language (Auslan version), which can be seen on YouTube.
