SINGERS have scored a musical hat-trick for a school.
Umoja, a six-member group from Conyers School, in Yarm, has been chosen to appear at the Music for Youth National Choral Festival, in Birmingham, on July 11.
Conyers Symphony Orchestra performed at the festival in the past two years and was joined by Umoja last year.
The group's musical director, Louisa Clethero, said: "Attaining this level for three years in a row is truly outstanding."
The name Umoja means unity in Swahili, and was chosen by the group.
They will perform five unaccompanied songs at the festival, the largest of its kind in Europe.
