Ref. 28037/2A TALENTED primary school choir from Trowbridge are celebrating after retaining a coveted festival award for the second year running.
Pupils at Hilperton Primary School beat off tough competition at the Mid Somerset Festival, held in Bath on Thursday, to secure the Newbridge Junior School Cup for the second year on the trot.
The 21-strong school choir, featuring pupils ranging from seven to 11-years-old, wowed the judges with their performances of Isn't It Nice To Harmonise and Light And Glass.
Judges commended the choir for its performance in their section, which was limited to choirs consisting of no more than 40 children aged 11-years-old or below.
Music teacher Linda Clark said she was "over the moon" for the children.
"Although it was nerve-wracking and involved a lot of hard work, we enjoyed singing and were thrilled our efforts were rewarded on the day," she said.
"We are very proud to have brought the cup back to Hilperton school."
