I'm trying to locate a choral arrangement of "Solidarity" from Billy Elliot? I haven't been able to find one and would appreciate any leads you might have.
I have found arrangements of "Shine" and "Electricity" (Hal Leonard), but not "Solidarity". Thanks for your help!

| I am seeking recommendations for public domain SSA madrigals appropriate for a group of twelve (12) relatively strong 11-12th grade girls. I'm new to high school this year after nine years of middle school, so I was hoping to learn from others' experience.
There was another ChoralNet posting on ... |
| Forum message: Best Beatles arrangements | Jussi Doherty | December 28, 2009 |

Rather than examine them all one by one, I was hoping some of you would list your favorites. I need at least one for each of my high school groups: mixed, men, begi... |
