Young musicians from Oswestry School took six 1st and six 2nd places in the Oswestry Youth Music Festival, which was held over February 28th – March 2nd, 2008.

The students, aged between 10 and 18, faced stiff competition as they performed as soloists or in duets, presenting their own choice of music. All pupils achieved merit or above, with four attaining distinctions.

Director of Music Mrs Sue Morris said, “This was a pleasing set of results, especially as some pupils were not able to attend due to clashes with other events. It was especially pleasing that three of the 6 competitors competing for the Junior Festival cup were from Oswestry School.”
