Special Group auditions for Christchurch Schools’ Music Festival
The Special Groups of the Music Festival are the musical equivalent of
Canterbury representative sports teams: you have to be quite good to
get in. And just as there is a selection process to get into a Canterbury
representative sports team, so there is to select the very best singers and
musicians for the Special Groups of the Music Festival. You have to pass
an audition to get in, even if you have been in a Special Group previously.
