Photos from @ianwallacephoto of @BYCChildrenWEST (7-11 yrs), one of our 3 Children’s Choirs performing at last weekend in 2 concerts. They were fabulous! Lots of new members who performed with such skill and focus.

We have the most amazing children involved - it’s such a special team. Some have now graduated to the @bycintermediate (which is amazing!) so there are a few places available. Get in touch!
