Happy 5th Birthday Local Guides Connect! #ConnectTurns5

Well, it only took a month to pull this off. :sweat_smile: With much pride, I present to you the music video that myself, @Phunky , @AnnaBcn , and @KashifMisidia have been working with support/contributions from the Connect Moderators, Local Guides team (thanks @TraciC , @DeniGu @Giu_DiB ).

Some related reading material if you’re curious:

But without further ado, let’s get to the music video! Get your groove going, put on your dancing shoes, practice your finger snapping and here we go… :tada: :tada: :tada:

The party isn’t over yet! :tada: :partying_face: :tada: Don’t forget that we still have the rest of July for activities, events, challenges and meet-ups to celebrate Connect’s 5th Birthday!! You can check out this post for more information (and yes, I will be updating it soon!) and do join in the various meet-ups being organised!! As always, do let me know your thoughts and feedback in the comments below and I hope that you’ve enjoyed the music video.

One month, 20+ Moderators, and one amazing community equal a fantastic gift!

@AdrianLunsong and everyone, you just blew us all away! With your efforts, your creativity, and your love for the Local Guides program and Connect.

P.S. I think we’re all snapping fingers and singing “Click 12, 123” in our heads, it’s so catchy. :grin:

This is going to be playing in my mind for a while haha, incredible job @AdrianLunsong , @Phunky , @AnnaBcn , @KashifMisidia - beautiful track, great lyrics, wonderful visuals from Local Guides all over - just ridiculously heartwarming and energizing.

Adrian, you’ve become quite the video wizard - the visual effects, the audio mixing, everything is impressive and many kudos on putting such a wonderful piece of art together.

What a great way to ring in Connect’s 5th birthday! :clap: And always great to hear Anthony’s rapping and Anna’s soothing vocals. :heart:

@AdrianLunsong let me say, “You are the Superman of Local Guides Community”

I have not enough words to appreciate your efforts to make this dream come true which I shared with you as a idea, and I can say this video song is much better from my imagination which I saw like a dream.

Tons of thanks for such a beautiful video, you are really an inspiring person, and an awesome friend of mine :heart:

Many many thanks to @Phunky and @AnnaBcn , your voices are so beautiful , you should launch a music album together, (but don’t forget me to write again something for you :purple_heart: :purple_heart: :purple_heart: )
