Press Packer Meg was part of her school choir at a big annual school music festival.
Here's her musical story:
"I recently took part in the Portsmouth Schools' Music Festival.
It is a celebration of music that happens every year in the Guildhall in Portsmouth. Lots of schools in Portsmouth get together and perform some well known songs.
The school choirs all sang together!

I have taken part in the festival since I was in Year Two and have enjoyed it every time.
This year we were really lucky because Howard Goodall, who is England's first Ambassador for Singing, has been made the festival's Honorary President.
He wrote the themes for TV shows like Mr Bean.
Music lover
In the lead up to the festival we had lots to learn - all the words and in what order to sing them.
Twice after school, we got together with all the other secondary schools to practise.
It was lovely to hear the sound of the big choir and the orchestra as one.
Singing success
The festival was a huge success!
The juniors were on first, with a brass band starting off the show. They sang some great songs including Valerie, Any Dream Will Do and Billie Jean.
And some of the songs were accompanied by dancers.
Then, after the interval, it was our turn!
The Portsmouth Youth Orchestra started off with music including the James Bond theme tune.
After that, we all sang five ABBA songs with actions. My favourite song was Super Trouper because it sounded really good with the orchestra.
All in all, the performance went really well.
I love performing in the Portsmouth Schools' Music Festival and will definitely be doing it next year!"
Meg, 12, Southsea
