A DARLINGTON school choir made its debut performance last night in front of parents and friends.
About 90 pupils at Eastbourne School sang a series of chocolate-themed songs at a Thornton's event.
The choir was set up by Alec Jackson, head of music at the school, who said the pupils were nervous about their first public performance.
"Just to get them up there singing in front of people is great and I think they have been nervous and excited in equal measure," he said.
Acting headteacher Karen Pemberton said: "Six months ago we had no choir at all, and for Alec to have encouraged up to 90 pupils at any one time to want to perform in public is amazing.
"I am immensely proud of his and the children's efforts."
