BILTON GRANGE PUPIL BEATS HUNDREDS OF COMPETITORS TO WIN A COVETED PLACE IN THE NATIONAL YOUTH CHOIR

Celine Flowers, aged 12, a Year 8 pupil at Bilton Grange Preparatory School has been awarded a place in the National Youth Choir (NYC), after a nerve-wracking audition in Birmingham at the end of last year. In a record year for applications to the Choir, over 600 children auditioned for a place at venues up and down the country and Celine was successful in her first ever audition for the Choir.

Celine, who is a talented musician, is also Head Chorister at Bilton Grange and will be attending her first residential course as a member of the National Youth Choir during the Easter holidays. Her first concert with the NYC will be on 7th April at Coventry Cathedral.

Celine Flowers commented;

I was really happy to get into the National Youth Choir, especially on my first attempt. I have always loved singing and I sing along to everything – especially when I am listening to my I-Pod in the car! I am looking forward to going on my first course at Easter and I am sure that I will learn a lot and hopefully meet some interesting new people at the same time.”
