The judges, Mrs Alison Sutton, head of music at Rikkyo School and Steve Dummer, conductor of the Horsham Sympathy Orchestra praised all the contestants on their performance and gave helpful hints on where each one could improve even further.
Gordon McConnell from the Rotary Club of Horsham said this was the third year the club had run this event, the first in 2012/2013 when a very young Rosie Sutton from Millais School moved through the heats and became the youngest National Winner of this competition.
