National Finals of Music for Youth at the Royal Festival Hall


On Monday 2 July 2001 the Year 2 Choir from Westfields Infant School, conducted by Mrs Carpenter, sang at the National Finals of Music For Youth. It was held at the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank in London. Earlier in the year the choir had taken part in the regional competition, held in Aldershot and had been chosen for the National Finals. They were one of only ten infant school groups chosen from the whole country.


Two coaches went from Yateley carrying the 50 members of the choir plus school staff, school governors, parents and grand-parents of choir members. Many other supporters went directly to the Royal Festival Hall by train.



The main performance was on the stage of the Royal Festival Hall.




 
Lunch was on one of the balconies overlooking the Thames.

Everybody had a great time!
