** MAGDELEINE BUTLER **

After 2 years of Kindermusic, Magdalene had a brief association with the Rosny Children's Choir.

In the last 2 years Magdalene has won Gold in the City of Clarence Eistedfodd, as well as scoring two Merits, one of them in an Under 12 group. Magdelene sang "Silent Night" solo in the Sorell Carols by Candlelight. She sang at two Senior Citizens Concerts and has sung at various civic luncheons, as well as the national anthem at the official opening of Sorell Council.

In the Musical Theatre production of "All Aboard", Magdalene performed as both a choirist and soloist.
