A huge congratulations to both Elliott Beauchamp and Alex Wehlau for passing their latest RSCM exams!

Alex gained a merit in her Bishop’s Award and Elliott passed his Dean’s Award. Both put a lot of hard work in with extra sessions around choir practices over the last couple of months and thoroughly deserve to gain the awards. Well done!

Both of their names will be listed under Wessex on the Voice for Life Singing Awards website: http://www.rscm.com

On Sunday 13th, 8 members of St Peter’s choir travelled to Salisbury to take part in the Salisbury Diocesan Choir Festival 2010. Conducted by David Hall, the massed choirs from around the diocese made a stunning sound and it was a moving experience for both congregation and singers alike.

Members of St Peter’s congregation also travelled to not only support the choir, but also to support Alex Wehlau who was presented with her Dean’s Award. This was a fantastic achievement for Alex who gained the award with distinction.

Between the afternoon rehearsal and the evening service, many of the choir and their families sat in the Salisbury Cathedral grounds enjoying sandwiches and doughnuts.

Thank you to everyone who came to support the choir and congratulations to Alex once again for gaining her award!

Our congratulations go to chorister Alex Wehlau who acheived her RSCM Dean’s Award on 15th May 2010 passing with distinction. Alex has been a dedicated chorister with St Peter’s Parkstone for several years and it came as no surprise that she passed with such high honours.

St Peter’s choir will be attending the Salisbury Diocesan Choir Festival on June 13th to support Alex in receiving her award.

Well done Alex!
