Further Update on BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year Competition
We are delighted to announce that the Choir have been successful in the next round of the above competition and will now compete in November at the National Finals to be held at the Liverpool Philharmonic during the weekend of 8/9 November.
The hard work has already started in preparation for this Competition not forgetting our Leaver's Concert which will be held on 12 July at 6.30pm at The House on Brumby Wood Lane. Tickets for this event can be obtained from Choir rehearsals on a Friday night or from Paul's Music, Laneham Street, Scunthorpe. We hope that as many people as possible will attend this popular event where we say goodbye to those choristers moving on to higher education. It is hoped that these choristers will return again in November to take part in the National Finals.

BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year Competition
The Choir was successful in their first round of the above competition on 11 May 2008 held at The Octagon in Sheffield. Scunthorpe Co-operative Junior Choir were commended by the adjudicators for their innovative programme of dance and music which was described as a fantastic start to the afternoon and outstanding. The Choir was rewarded for all their hard work and efforts by being declared "Choir of the Day" in the "Open" category of the above competition.
Special thanks are extended to Gill (for her choreography), Ailsa (for supporting the choir instrumental playing recorder and treble) and also to Andrea (for supporting the choir instrumental playing the tabor).
I am sure you will want to wish them every success for the next round of the competition which will be the judgement from the recordings of all rounds due to be held in June.
Please keep watch for news of any further success in this competition.
The Choir have been successful in securing a bid for £450 to enable a Movement Coach to work with the choristers in preparation for the BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year competition to be held in Sheffield in May.
