On Thursday, Vryheid High School (VHS) hosted its annual Choir Festival. Schools that participated included Vryheid Comprehensive Secondary School, Vryheid Landbou High School, Nuwe Republiek Skool, Vryheid High School, Sarel Cilliers High School, Newcastle High School, St Dominic’s Newcastle and the Vryheid Mass Choir. The schools had to sing various songs in the Gospel and African Contemporary Music categories. Great harmony was produced as all the schools excelled in the respective categories. The Vryheid Mass Choir, which comprises Vryheid High School and Vryheid Landbou, ended the festival on a high note with their performance. The festival was a great success and VHS wishes to thank all the schools that participated.
