It's been too long since we had a song!

Here at Open Cast a fantastic website, great magazine and cool newsletter just wasn’t enough! Our latest creation is OC’s very own pop song! 

 

The song was inspired, written and produced by students who hoped to express their love for Open Cast and encourage others to visit the project. Jodie, 15 said, ”It’s a great song, we all had a go at writing the lyrics and singing and it was really fun to do!”

 

Students involved have even starred in a music video, which will be released on the Open Cast website next week. The catchy hit is also set to be recorded onto CD with the OC Enterprise Skills Group designing a cover and selling copies to raise money for charity.

 

To order your copy of the Open Cast CD, speak to Stancey on 01302 638669.
