UTV Choir of the Year success.

3rd Feb 2019

 

  On Monday 28th January the Chamber Choir accompanied Miss Mallon, Mr Clarke, Mrs Mc Cartan and Mrs Monaghan to the regional heat of the UTV Choir of the Year competition. To reach this stage was an achievement as the choir had to submit a digital recording of them performing.  

Within our region over 30 recordings were submitted and we were one of the six schools invited to perform in front of the judges. Each of the six choirs was very good so we really couldn't believe it when we were announced as the heat winners. We were DELIGHTED!!!!   We are now busy preparing a  new song for the next round of the competition which will be held in early March. 

The whole proceedings were recorded and the presenter was John Toal- he interviewed some of our children behind the scenes. The whole experience was soooo exciting and we can't wait until the next heat and to see ourselves on TV. We will let you all know when it is going to be broadcast.
