Final Concert and Awards Ceremony

The Chorale, by request of the adjudicating panel, performed Chindia and Tabulum to the large audience of other performers at the festival. Again, the Chorale performed to a very high standard. Four levels of achievement were acknowledged during the presentation ceremony – Gold, Silver, Bronze and Participation – and the Chorale was successful in obtaining a Silver award for their competition performance. This award is a most significant achievement in an international competition and is a credit to their hard work and talent. Dr Braham expressed his own delight in their achievement when he addressed them later in the evening. Buoyed by this achievement we made our way to the Beijing Duck Restaurant for the Festival Farewell Dinner. The ceremonial presentation and carving of the Peking Duck was a feature of the evening. The boys later commented on their delight at savouring this oriental delicacy.
