Coronation concert: Reggae choir to perform for King Charles
By Iqra FarooqNewsbeat reporter
From rehearsal rooms in Leeds to The Stage at Windsor Castle - The Coronation marks a big moment for The Reggae Roots choir.
They're among hundreds of singers from different backgrounds performing for King Charles III alongside famous names like Katy Perry , Freya Ridings and Take That .
The Coronation Choir's aim is to represent The diversity of communities across The UK.
Stephanie Horacio, 18, is one of The Young People who Make Up Reggae Roots . She's ready and raring to go.
" I've never been someone to shy away from The spotlight so I'm definitely ready for it, " she says.
Stephanie's honest about The new era of The Monarchy , and says she wants to See a change.
" I just hope everyone has a chance to be heard, loved and cared for, " she says.
" Right now I don't feel like we're 100% there. It doesn't have to be perfect but I Wish we could do more.
" We all have different backgrounds and skin colours but we're all Still Human and deserve to be loved.
" None of That should matter to anyone, especially for The Royal Family who are so public. "
But Stephanie feels The Coronation choir is a step in The Right direction, and says she was " proud to See so many cultures represented on That stage in rehearsal".
" Reggae choirs, Asian choirs, people from different backgrounds, " she says.
" I expected to be The Most prominent black group in The Coronation choir but we weren't and That 's beautiful to See .
" The fact The Royal Family brought us All Together and we created something so beautiful which everyone will get to See - That was mesmerising to me. "
Fredlin Morency is The Assistant Music Director for Reggae Roots - and he says The Moment is " once in a lifetime".
" I'm so excited, I can't believe it's finally time, " The 18-year-old tells BBC Newsbeat.
" My Friends and family are a bit jealous but it's all good, they all feel part of The achievement. "
He's been cramming in rehearsals on top of studying for his A-Level exams too.
" It's been a lot balancing it all but I'm grateful, " he says.
" And actually getting to perform allows me to relieve some of The A-Level stress. "
Fredlin has heritage in The Turks and Caicos Islands and hopes The King will embrace Caribbean communities.
" The whole idea of having a reggae choir and including people like us who wouldn't normally get on a stage like That is a statement in itself, " he says.
" Being able to perform at The King 's Coronation as a Black Man is a statement. "
Andrea Menlah, 17, couldn't believe it when The invite came through.
" When they told me, I wasn't sure if it was real. But it's The King - not Just Anybody . I was very nervous and I still am. "
Nobody outside The Choir will hear their song before The Concert .
But speaking about how he hopes The Audience will feel when The spotlight turns on, Andrea says he " hopes people feel represented".
" When We Sing it together, The communities come together and it's just vibes, so I hope people watching will feel That as well. "
