The Thornton children now go forward to the national final on June 10 at Perth Concert Hall where they will join six other regional winners to compete for the national title. Over 130 schools from Aberdeenshire, the Borders, Dundee&Angus, Edinburgh, Forth Valley Fife and Perth and Kinross have taken part this year.

Approximately 4000 youngsters have performed in what is believed to be the biggest school music initiative of its kind in Scotland.
