“In the Primary School Choir category, Northlands Primary School has been named the winner, with West End Primary School taking second place. In the Middle/Secondary School Choir category, The Berkeley Institute took first place this year, with 2023’s winners Bermuda Institute taking second place this time around. St David’s/East End Primary won the public vote to take home the People’s Choice Award.

“These schools have been recognised for their harmonic skill, creativity, professionalism, and Christmas spirit. They competed for $5,000 each for the winning schools, along with $2,000 for each runner-up.

“Skyport congratulated all 21 choirs that participated in this year’s Carol-Off, commending their dedication, preparation and hard work that they put into each performance. Each choir brought something unique and festive to the stage, and Skyport was proud to have provided a platform for their incredible talent.

“The Winners’ Concert, taking place Thursday, December 12, from 7 PM to 9 PM, is now sold out, with standing room only available for those who still wish to attend. Guests can enjoy performances by the finalists and hosted by MC Mr. Fotogenik. A vendor market featuring local businesses such as Ensure, Little Roads, Ashley’s Lemonade, The Knifty Knitzz and more will be on-site.

Nikki ***an, Head of Brand Development & Communications at Skyport, said: “It has been so wonderful to see so many school choirs performing for the community here at L.F. Wade International Airport. This event has certainly put a festive spring in the steps of the airport’s staff and travelers passing through this week.

“We are thrilled to host the first-ever Winners’ Concert on December 12, which is perfect for those who weren’t able to join us during the Carol-Off. We look forward to seeing everyone there, crowning the 2024 winners and contributing to their school music programs as part of Skyport’s ongoing commitment to supporting Bermuda’s young people in arts, education, sports, science, and the community.”
