Barnsley Youth Choir is working with the best choirs in the world, and putting the town on the map.
The choir regularly sings to sell-out crowds and in June performed with the world famous Aurin Choir at Horizon Community College.
With top flight producer Simon Humphrey - who recorded The Clash - the choir is now working on two Christmas singles due to be released nationally to raise money for Barnsley Hospice.
The choir has 200 members aged seven to 19 and was established in 2009. Run by a team of five musical directors overseen by MD Matthew Wright, it has been nominated for a Proud of Barnsley award in the Community Group category.
Nominator Kyle Reece Mitchell, of Canal Street, Barnsley, said the choir was constantly in demand. It also runs residential trips for members and these have included a performance at the Olympic Stadium in Newham, London.
Kyle said: "The reason I believe this group deserves to win is because everything is done voluntarily. Every member attends under their own steam and does so because they have a passion to sing and help their community through fund-raising."
The choir has a varied repertoire including classical, pop, gospel, spiritual, rock and folk music and prides itself on providing young people with skills that enable them to perform in up to six parts.
When organisers first established it, the vision was to have one choir of around 40 young people. Because of overwhelming demand the choir is now split into four sections: Barnsley Training Choir, Barnsley Children's Choir, Barnsley Youth Choir and the newly formed Barnsley Camerata for older members.
The choir has a strong social team and holds regular events like discos.
