Last Night of the Proms to celebrate The Sound of Music

This year's Last Night of the Proms will be "alive with the Sound of Music", and members of the public are being invited to join in.

Budding singers have until 30 August 2015 to submit videos of themselves singing "Do-Re-Mi" from the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. A selection will be included in a video montage broadcast on BBC One during the climactic concert on 12 September.

The video, commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, will also be shown inside the Royal Albert Hall and at all four 'Proms in the Park' events across the UK.

Edward Blakeman, director of the BBC Proms 2015, said: "Everyone who took part in our Mary Poppins challenge last year had such fun, and produced such a great range and variety of videos, that we couldn't resist repeating the challenge with The Sound of Music."

Contributions can be made individually, or as a group – and can be filmed using a camera, a smartphone or webcam. To send contributions visit the Radio 2 website.

Blakeman added: "'Do, Re, Mi' is one of the great show tunes, and it's about music itself – so get creative!"
