There's a music festival held annually in Brisbane for all Catholic schools - the Queensland Catholic Schools and Colleges Music Festival.

Personally, I had never heard of the thing - but until this year I had never worked in a Catholic school in Brisbane, so I guess I wouldn't have heard of it. Apparently its been going for some time. Anyway, my current school, being Catholic, always goes in the competition - and always does well. In fact, the choir (my group) always score gold, as does the other choral groups in the school. You see, at this competition, there are no first, second and third places - its just gold, silver and bronze - and you could have several of them in the one category. In fact, everyone who goes in it gets bronze just for showing up.

Well yesterday was the festival, and my choir was in it. I was very worried, as I haven't been in the competition before, and I didn't think they'd do well enough, but luckily I was wrong. They did very well, scoring one of two golds given out for our section.

Not bad, eh?
