The school's choir became very successful in the mid-1980s, winning many competitions including the Llangollen Eisteddfod. When school was over, it seemed natural to carry on singing together as a choir, and the group's achievements included reaching the semi-finals of Sainsbury's Choir of the Year and appearing on Opportunity Knocks.
In the 1990's, the choir moved to Harrow and officially became known as Jubilate. Sarah Stroh took over as Musical Director in 1999 and since then the choir has grown significantly, doubling in size to its current membership of 43. There are still some original members of the choir, who have been singing together for more than 25 years.
Our recent competition successes include winning the Barnardo's National Choir competition in March 2013 and the ladies choir, folk and popular music classes and runner-up with distinction in the sacred music class in the 2012 Mid-Somerset Festival. We came fourth at the prestigious International Llangollen Eisteddfod in July 2011. In October 2009, we were pleased to take part in Clash of the Choirs, a fundraising event for Michael Sobell House in Northwood, where the audience overwhelmingly voted us the winners.
We have appeared with Barry Manilow at Wembley Arena and recorded several CDs of hymns for Readers Digest's music division, as well as two of our own CDs - 'A Quetzal Plume' and 'In the Mood'. less
