K- 6 Choir awarded 3rd place in the Sydney Eisteddfod
Here’s a quick roundup of the adjudicator’s comments:
-
General Praise: The adjudicator, Sam Allchurch, thoroughly enjoyed the performance and praised the choir’s strong singing culture, guided by a skilled and generous conductor.
-
Piece 1 – Under Southern Skies: Commended for clear, well-produced sound, strong preparation, and excellent memorization. Two-part work and harmonies were well executed, particularly the modulations and phrase endings.
-
Piece 2 – Roar: Offered a good contrast; the choir adapted well to the pop style. Choreography, especially the canon on the first “Roar!”, enhanced the performance.
-
Overall: Congratulations to the choir, conductor, and pianist on a strong and enjoyable performance. Encouragement was given to continue the good work.

Result: Awarded 3rd place (Shield).
