More than 3,000 kids in Aberdeen, Scotland, sang "Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen" in front of thousands of family and friends over the weekend as part of the city's annual "Big Sing" event, the BBC reports.
The event, put on by the city's music service and funded by the Scottish government, is meant to give kids the chance to perform in front of family and friends, and this year's event was bigger than ever, with every primary school in the city participating, according to a press release.
The kids performed six songs, including "Arabian Nights" and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling," and were joined by groups such as the Robert Gordon's College Pipe Band and the Aberdeen City Music Service staff.
The event was filmed by the Signal production company, which says it was "thrilled to return for this event, and eagerly anticipate seeing how the children will make it even bigger next year."
