The standard was excellent and I would like to reiterate what I said about not being too disheartened if you didn't get into your ensemble of choice.  Please stay in choir and continue to build your confidence there and try again next time. The places offered to you are on the understanding that you maintain your commitment to Choir and where applicable, Male Voice Choir.

The first Training Ensemble rehearsal is Tuesday September 19th at lunchtime. Vocal Ensemble Sopranos : Hannah Carruthers, Beth DM, Nell, Lucy, Mae, Bethany, Tamsin...
