proud dad

BYC has been highly successful and is currently the highest ranked choir from Great Britain in the World Rankings winning 8 first prizes in the World Choir Games 2014, and European Choir Games in 2015 and 2017. As a registered charity it serves over 400 children and young people aged 4-24 years old in 6 separate choirs and has received many awards, including an MBE.

Today my daughter (15) will fly with BYC to tour South Africa for 12 days  , singing with many world class choirs from all over S. AFRICA

they will be going to Durban , Drackensberg , Pretoria , johannesburg , visit Mandela house , pilansberg game reserve and a lion safari park in driven jeeps.

there are over 400 in the choir ,from 4yrs to young adults , but mainly just school bairns from sunny Barnsley , i am just so staggered by their success and brilliance  

 

unfortunately they could only take 60+ ( due to huge financial cost ) 

 

they picked the best of the best and fortunately she got through the tough auditions 

it is an experience she will never forget and i’m so proud of her !
