The  NZ Youth Choir took out top honours at the Grand Prix of Nations at the European Choir Games in Aarhus, Denmark. 

The choir's magic mix of waiata and songs from the Pacific earned them an incredible 97.50 out of 100 possible points in the Folklore section, the highest performance category at the Games, . 
 
In a very respectable second, they also scored 96.25 in the a cappella category.  

The choir has moved on to wow Oxford and now Wales. New Zealand Youth Choir Music Director David Squire joins fresh from the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod.
