Three of our Children’s Choirs (7-11 yrs) are rehearsing for next week’s Christmas Concerts that will feature 7 choirs and over 500 children and young people. They sound fantastic. Happy Christmas from everyone at BYC.

Is it even Christmas without the Ceremony of Carols?! Hanging out with the Sopranos and @bycsenior as they rehearse.
