WWII Children’s Musical – Will Santa Get Shot Down

New 2023 update for ‘Will Santa Get Shot Down’.

Our World War II Children’s Musical ‘Will Santa Get Shot Down’ has been updated for 2023. What’s new? Updated script, new artwork, updated staging advice with new ideas, new PowerPoint scenery and new PowerPoint lyrics.

‘Will Santa Get Shot Down’ is an uplifting Christmas musical that will make you laugh out loud and also bring a tear to the eye. Set in England on Christmas Eve 1940, Geoff and his family are about to spend what should be the most magical night of the year… in a cold, wet air-raid shelter! Based on a true story, this Christmas musical is perfect for children who are studying the history topic of life during WWII.

Please Note: This musical has nothing to do with the story of Santa, and there is definitely NO guns, or shooting of any kind! The title ‘Will Santa Get Shot Down’ is taken from a line in the script where the main character is worried about how Santa will still deliver presents while an air-raid is ongoing! A genuine worry for children in 1940!

This publication contains 9 festive songs (with vocal and backing tracks) which use fabulous 1940s style music. It also includes an editable script, sheet music, PowerPoints and more.

  • Running Time = 40-50 minutes
  • Minimum Rehearsal Time = 2 weeks
  • Cast Size = 6 to 100+ (Depending on content used)

This article explains the detailed reasons for all the licensing changes we’ve made.Performance Licence

What’s changed?

For most customers, especially those buying a brand new publication, there isn’t that much of a difference at all. Just a nice new ‘Digital Publication’, easily accessible on any device immediately after purchase.

EU Customers: VAT numbers now required

Updated – September 2023

This article applies to customers of Learn2soar Music who are based within the EU. We have had to make some temporary changes to the way we operate in EU countries…

What’s Changed?

For all EU based customers – a VAT number is required at checkout. There are no exceptions. To explain further, due to changes in EU VAT rules, we are currently only allowed to sell to EU business customers (including schools) who have their own valid VAT number, which is also authorised for use in cross-border transactions.   Please read on for the reasons behind this, some frequently asked questions, and possible solutions.

What happens when I place an order?

If you are located within the EU, when placing an order you will be asked to input your VAT number at checkout, which will be auto-verified. If verification fails, the transaction will be rejected. If verification is successful, you can continue your purchase, with the VAT element removed from the transaction. Your VAT number will be automatically added to your invoice/receipt, for your own accounting purposes.
PLEASE NOTE: Once payment is complete your order will automatically be placed ‘On Hold’, while we manually verify the details of the order. Once we have verified it, we will remove the ‘On Hold’ status, allowing you to access your digital publication. Our manual checks are often completed in a minute or two, however, during busy periods, or unsociable hours, there may be a slightly longer delay of several hours or more. Thank you for your patience.

Our Ukraine Response – Learn2soar Music – March 2022

Ukraine-response

Our response to the situation in Ukraine

We are completely appalled at the unjustified, barbaric invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces. We hope and pray for a swift and peaceful resolution.

As a company, there are several areas of our business operations that we have had to re-evaluate in light of this Russian aggression towards a peaceful neighbouring country, and the unparalleled refugee crisis that Russia’s monstrous acts have created:

With Regards to our Russian Customers

Like every other UK company, we are now looking carefully at the business we do with Russia. It is true that our sales in this location have historically been a lot lower than most other nations. Just a few dozen orders over the last 20 years. Nevertheless, we still feel that for the time being, we should no longer provide goods and services to Russian customers.

Donations

We have looked back over our company’s entire history for the last two decades and calculated all the money we have ever taken from any customer located in Russia or Belarus (full turnover, not just profits) and have made a donation equal to this total towards the Ukraine refugee crisis appeal, via the Disasters Emergency Committee (dec.org.uk).

Affected Publications

Four of our publications have been affected by the war in Ukraine. We have had to re-evaluate each one and are dealing with each in slightly different ways: (more…)

Lights, Camera, Action! Christmas Video Advice For Your 2020 Performance

How to distribute a recording of your Christmas Nativity Play

We’re getting swamped with requests for advice on how best to share recordings of Christmas video performances with parents, since Covid restrictions have put a stop to live audiences in most countries around the world. But before we get to our recommendations on distribution, let’s first look at some of the practical and legal issues around recording or streaming your performance.

Don’t Stop Your Showstoppers!

UPDATED AUGUST 2021

Don't let a Covid Christmas Stop Your Christmas Showstoppers

Covid restrictions don’t need to put a stop to your 2021 Christmas performance

This article was originally created last November. Since then the Coronavirus situation has changed in various ways for all our worldwide customers. Some have seen situations improve, some have seen things get worse. But one thing is certain, it would be foolish for us to not anticipate any further Covid disruption for planned Christmas performances around the world during 2021. Nevertheless, we still believe that whether schools are open or not, with plenty of technological / video / streaming options available, and with Covid advice sheets included with all our publications, there’s no need to let Covid put a stop to your school’s Christmas performance.

While many of our competitors are stuck with publications that may be suitable for only one type of setting, we’re confident that most of our Christmas performances will suit almost ANY situation.

VIEW OUR FULL RANGE OF CHRISTMAS MUSICALS & NATIVITY PLAYS

What’s the difference? Some of our competitors have just one single script included with each of their publications, with no editing allowed. This means that it might only be suitable for small casts or might only be suitable for one specific age-range, which can be very limiting. However, most of our publications are super-flexible with as many as five script variations included! And we always include fully editable scripts, so you can quickly make any changes you want to help adapt the script to suit your specific requirements.

  • Small group shows? Or whole school performances? No problem.
  • Big bubbles? Little bubbles? Easy-peasy.
  • Singing? No singing? We’ve got you covered.
  • Zoom? YouTube? Vimeo? Go for it! Order one of our Recording Licences and then record or stream to your heart’s content (conditions apply).

And with regularly updated ‘Covid advice sheets’ included with every publication, you have even more detailed suggestions for ways to make your performance as safe as possible.

So, rather than us sharing what we think you should do (because every school setting is completely different) here are several case-studies from customers who spoke to us last year about their planned approaches towards their 2020 Christmas performances:

Leavers Assembly 2020 – A Socially Distanced Leavers Assembly

‘Zooming On Leavers Assembly’ has now been completely updated. It contains New Lyric Videos for every vocal track and every backing track. Click the image above to go to a YouTube playlist, containing two complete videos.

Zooming On Leavers Assembly 2020
Zooming On Leavers Assembly 2020

Any Leavers Assembly 2020 could be problematic for schools, but we think ‘Zooming On’ offers a perfect, socially distanced solution.

This assembly pack has now been almost completely transformed since it was first released several years ago. As well as the new lyric videos, it also contains remixed MP3 vocal and backing tracks. Plus, a new longer script, updated sheet music, songsheet, PowerPoints and artwork.

Socially Distance Your Leavers Assembly

But with the current Coronavirus pandemic, many schools are wondering if, when and how they can still hold any type of Leavers Assembly during 2020. We believe that Zooming On provides a great solution. You can read the script out, with no acting, and no need for any of the pupils to get close to each other. You can perform the songs as solos, rather than group singing (which appears to be frowned on at the moment).

And what about the audience? Well if you are unable to perform outdoors to a socially distanced audience, then why not record your performance and put the video on your school website or YouTube channel. Remember to password protect it so that only pupils, staff and families from your school can see it. If not, then you may be in breach of copyright laws. If you need any help with this, then we’re very happy to offer assistance.
