"I’ve had the pleasure of judging the majority of the Glee Show Choir regional finals this year and I’m impressed by how each school has thrown themselves into the Challenge. They’ve embraced each set song and put their own unique
spin on it, and each choir’s personality has shone through its individual song choice. The standard has continued to rise over the years that I’ve been involved as a patron and I’m thrilled that so many schools now have this performance opportunity available to them'
