Thank you and recognition post!

My tired brain is slowly catching up!

I would like to say a massive thank you to all the parents and families who transported, supported, fed, hung around waiting during piano and singing comps this week - we couldn't do this without all your love and support for the kids!

A big special thank you to Zarah who looked after the younger ones backstage for me at vocal comps and kept them all entertained and in the right place, then stayed to support the older ones. It was simply awesome to have you there, the kids love you and I loved hanging out with you too!

To Ella, I can't believe this was your final HV comps after so many years (photos to come later in the year- this is not the last goodbye thank goodness!), you are a stunning singer and a beautiful person inside and out. We will miss you next year!

Thanks to Hazel for joining us for her last year at comps too! You slotted right into our little singing family and we hope your last HV junior comps was super fun! We wish you all the best for your NYPA nomination comps in August!
