The standard was high across the whole spectrum. I've been absolutely stunned by the standard here – James Rae, adjudicator of the wind classes.


Over 100 children took part in the preliminary rounds of the competition held on the 4 and 18 November. Standards were incredibly high and the adjudicators had a very hard job indeed deciding on the winners. Results are given below. Many congratulations to all who took part. Class winners went forward to the Finals which took place on Sunday 27 January at St Faith's School.
