- Performing a self composed piece, Invincible, at the Opening Ceremony of the Invictus Games 2017 in Toronto. I was joined on stage by the magnificent Military Wives Choir.
Still moves me to tears. My wife along with the Canadian Military Wives Choirs across Canada sang. As an injured Veteran from service this makes my proud to have been apart of the CAF and it honours not only the ones who competed in the games bit also the ones who we said farewell to.
This is so moving and wonderful! Such a beautiful opening for the Invictus Games.

I was singing in the choir that evening and it was such an amazing, overwhelming and emotional time for all of us. Every single one of us was beyond impressed at Laura’s professionalism, warmth, kindness, beauty and unbelievable talent. We were so honoured to be singing the beautiful song, “Invincible”, she had written for the athletes and we worked very hard for months do justice to the music and lyrics and to make her proud of us. She was so wonderful to us all and she truly is a beautiful soul whose song brought tears to our eyes on MANY occasions, including that day. Thank you Laura Wright! It was an experience we will never forget.
I also must note that a HUGE reason it all came together so well for the choirs was because of the incredible talent of our Invictus Choir Director, Wendy Nixon Stothert from Comox, BC. She was able to take close to 200 women from 10 different choirs from all across Canada and seamlessly merge us together into one massive voice, in 6 part harmony, in just a few hours of practice one day prior to our 5 minutes of fame. I heard many of the women from other choirs declaring that she had taught them more about singing in the few hours we had together, than they had learned the entire year before! Thank you Wendy for your bright, shining soul and ever smiling face that always makes us want to learn.
Breathtaking ,thank you 😇laura ,and to all ,job well done .😘

A very emotional song. I love it! I was sitting to the left of the stage by the Canadian athletes. Laura, your voice and performance was perfect.

Miss Wright, I was a writer/photographer there that night. It was one of the most moving performances I've ever heard. Thank you, and bravo for your continuing support for the Games and our wounded warriors. www.thornefoto.com

We sung this at the 100 year world war 2 rememberance servise and there was like flood beneath me we sang it then made a. Gap then we sang the poem Flanders fields
Song
Lalalalallalal
In Flanders fields
The Poppy’s grow between the crosses
Row on row
That mark our place
And in the sky the larks still bravely singing
Fly
Scarce heard amongst the guns below
We are the DEAD
Short days ago WE lived
FELT dawn
SAW sunset glow
LOVED and WERE loved
And now we lie in Flanders fields
Lallalalalallalalallalalallala
Take up your quarrel and your foe
From failing hands we throw the torch
Be YOURS to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die
We SHALL NOT SLEEP
though Poppy’s grow in Flanders fields
Lallalalalllalalvictoryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
