The Lily and the Rose, Bob Chilcott Veni Veni, Emmanuel, arranged by David Wilcocks With each performance, the Treble Choir have developed energy, confidence in their presentation, musical excellence and maturity of characterisation. They have grown from a group of varied voices into a choir with a warm, connected sound; able to manage a variety of styles and musical demands. I am delighted with the growing confidence of the individual choristers and hearing the vocal development of individual choristers is a total delight for me – and always a surprise to hear their volume and confidence more than triple during the course of the year. It has been a pleasure conducting such a lively and interested choir, and I whole-‐heartedly thank the Treble Troupers for an exciting and musical year of growth.

After auditioning into Concert Choir last year, I wasn't sure I wanted to come back to the all-‐girls choir. However, I am forever 69
grateful that I did. Over the past year, I have made many new friends from year 8 through to year 10, learned so much about singing, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Being made one of the leaders of the choir was a new experience for me, as I had only been one of those members who just sat there and sang the music. I have loved being able to help the younger kids not only enjoy choir, but also develop a love for singing with other people. My favourite part about this year's Treble Choir experience was the variety of concerts and repertoire, and the opportunities this opened up for many of the members to prove their abilities. I had never been selected as a soloist before this year, and I know neither had a few of the other girls. It gave us the opportunity to show off our unique voices in a non-threatening environment, and this gave us the confidence to further develop our voices and try things we normally wouldn’t dream of trying! I also loved the group of girls in this year's Treble Choir. Although for the first few rehearsals, we encountered a few talking issues, you all quickly grasped the concept of not chatting when Ms Kwok wants us to listen, which was much appreciated. You all focused when needed, and as a result, the sound of this year's choir was amazing! Great work girls! Thanks to Mr Barrett, forever the best looking guy in the room, and the best accompanist we could ask for. You put up with our chattering and femininity, and helped us become the cohesive unit we are today. Thank you. Lastly, I would love to thank Ms Kwok. You have been and inspiration to us all, a brilliant conductor, the best teacher and a wonderful leader. You have helped us, like Mr Barrett, go from a group of girls that didn't know much about each other at the start of the year, to the awesome choir we are today. You have helped develop the confidence of many of the girls in the choir, and I am going to miss being in Treble Choir next year. Thank you so much for everything you have done!
