Gorgeous!! Very moving performance. The folks at Winchester can be very proud of your great Choir.
Thank you from the States...

Yes, the soloist is Don Sweeney - he often appeared as a soloist with choral societies in Hampshire when not on cathedral duty.

I happen to have a Red Head Choristers medal

Hi. They are Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) awards. The order is as follows: Light blue, dark blue, BRONZE, Red, SILVER, Yellow, GOLD. Just to confuse things though, the ribbons are not alway the same colour as the award! I teach these awards to trebles up in Glasgow and I love it! The first award for a treble is when he (or she in some churches) is admitted as a chorister and they are given their surplus. A probationer just wears the cassock. If you want more info just ask, I love it all!

Thanks, that's kind of what i figured.

I think the yellow is the four years award medal

They are 'ribbons' which choristers get for achievement in singing. The different colours stand for different level of achievement. Not too sure about yellow, but I'm guessing it's a failry low leve of achievement. Usually you'll have light bluw then dark blue. Red usually next, but I think that one may just for RSCM choristers who've been part of the organisation (the Royal School of Church Music) for a certain number of years (?) you also get them for certain awards.

What do the yellow things on the boys' necks mean? And there was a boy with a blue one and another with a red one, if you could explain all three colors please. Thanks

The medals that the Winchester Choristers wear have nothing to do with the RSCM scheme.
They do not participate in that scheme as they are a professional cathedral choir.
Colours are as follows:
Red = Head Chorister
Blue = Deputy Head Chorister
Yellow = 'Singing Boys' Years 6, 7 and 8
No medal =Year 5 boys recently 'dubbed'
It has been like that for many years.
Just thought you might like to know :-)

@ald2345 Thanks for that- I had wondered why there were so many Yellow-medallers when that is (Under the RSCM scheme) the top of the scale. However, when I was a singing boy at St Paul's Cathedral, I did the RSCM scheme (now being at yellow- having done the final examination in New Zealand earlier this year).
