Sussex choir finishes on a high note

Sussex choir finishes on a high note. Singing students are full of glee after winning a national competition. The Sussex Competition Show Choir battled it out against nine other university choirs to win this year's Masters of Show Choir competition in London on 18 March. Formed from members of the University's Sussex Show Choir, the performers sang a medley of songs by Sia, followed by All of Me by John Legend, and then a mash-up of Gold Digger by Kanye West, No Diggity by Blackstreet and Flowers by Sweet Female Attitude on stage at the Arts Theatre in London. The competition, inspired by college choir TV drama Glee and the film series Pitch Perfect , has run since 2012. This is the second time Sussex has emerged victorious - having also won in 2014. Second-year geography student Megan Youngs, who became the choir's musical director this year, said: "We wanted to show the audience what we could do, so we chose very different songs with different timings and key changes, which showed off the choir's broad range and ability.
