Hello Gondies!

We hope you have all been enjoying being back at home aft National Choral School! We had a ball at NCS this year (and hope you did too!) but we are always looking to see how we can improve NCS for you, for your parents and for our audiences. Help us do that by filling in this survey so that we can make sure NCS 2016 is an even better experience for everyone. There is a section at the end for your parents. The whole survey should not take more than 10-15 minutes.

Many thanks,

Tessa and the Gondwana Choirs Team
