Success in National Youth Choir of Great Britain auditions 2018

Posted on by admingerrard

I am absolutely delighted to announce that following the National auditions in October/November this year, in which over a thousand children from all over Britain auditioned, all three of my entrants were successful. Carmen Lee (16), who was already in the Girls’ Choir has now moved up into a more senior choir. Eleanor Roe (12) will be joining the Girls’ Choir and Charlie Pittock (9), will be joining the Boys’ Choir. Congratulations to the three of them!
