Youngsters from Maddiston Primary will be hoping to impress the judges at the grand final of this year’s Scottish Primary School Glee Challenge this weekend.

The school’s choir – Marvellous Maddiston – are one of nine groups from across the country set to perform at the finals at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh on Sunday.

They earned their place in the last stage of the competition having beaten off strong competition in their sectionals and at the Central Regional final last month.

The Scottish Primary School Glee Challenge is delivered by the Frisson Foundation, whose mission is to support and encourage singing and music in schools while creating exciting performance opportunities for children.

Maddiston Primary's choir will compete in the grand final of this year's Scottish Primary Schools Glee Challenge this weekend.

A spokesperson for organisers the Frisson Foundation, said: “The National Final is about much more than performance.

"It is an opportunity for children from different communities to come together, share their love of music, build friendships, and celebrate the dedication and teamwork that have brought them to this stage.

“We are incredibly proud of the choirs and everything they have achieved. The Challenge provides a wonderful opportunity to develop confidence, work together, and experience the joy of performing.

"Reaching the National Final is a fantastic occasion for the children, their families, and the wider school communities, and we are looking forward to a wonderful day of celebration.”

Pupils and audiences will enjoy a special guest performance from Scottish Young Live Artist of the Year Ben Walker, while Harbingers Drum Crew will bring their trademark energy and excitement to the day's celebrations.
