The Guelph Youth Singers (GYS) recently participated in the Kiwanis Music Festival of Guelph.
All choirs of the organization achieved gold standing and received the City of Guelph trophy for the Best Community Choral Program. The prize included a $300 scholarship.
GYS Boys’ Choir and GYS Choir III were recommended to participate in the Ontario Music Festival Association’s taped competition.
GYS Choir III submitted an entry and placed first in the 2012 Choirs – Class 6 – winning the Dr. and Mrs. J.F.K. English Award.
The choir’s submission will now be entered for the national choral title.
The choir is under the leadership of Linda Beaupré, artistic director and conductor and Ken Gee, accompanist.
The award-winning choir is presently holding auditions for entry to GYS in September 2012.
