Amazing results from our BDC primary and secondary students at the Instrumental section of the Eisteddfod this year. The Instrumental sections actually went over 3 days and in every section, we had BDC students or groups enter with all students receiving a place. Julius Taylor has also been invited back to perform at the Gala Concert which is a showcase of the best Eisteddfod performances across all sections - piano, instrumental, choir, vocal, drama and dance.
