Treorchy Male Choir Young Musician Competition

Congratulations to Stacey Symons and Megan Atkin for representing us so admirably in the competition which was held at Treorchy Comprehensive School last night. Stacey, playing the violin, won the instrumental heat in order to represent our school against other instrumentalists. She played an arrangement of Moon River by Henry Mancini accompanied by Mrs. Griffiths, our string perepetetic teacher. Stacey didn't seem nervous as she walked confiddently on to the stage at the beginning of the competition. Stacey is currently preparing for her Associated Board Grade 2 exam.
Meagn gave a beautifully crafted rendition of "Whistle down the wind" the title song from the Andrew Lloyd Webber box office hit from the West End. Megan has appeared in many lead roles during her time with us at Gelli Primary, most recently Gabriella in last summer's High School Musical production.
All 27 finalists gave wonderful performances and the judges had the most difficult of tasks to narrow them down to two winners. They all received a commemarative shield, a certificate, and a trip to the Lyceum Theatre in London's West End to see The Lion King.
We are very proud of their achievements not only in their performance last night but for being fantastic role models. Well done girls!
Look out for another article featuring the girl's thoughts on their experiences soon.
