Latoya Gawachas says COTA gave the best by following the voices and manage to keep their voices online. She adds that the Southern Youth Choir also gave a good performance. “Southern Youth Choir was outstanding they stood together and performed very well although COTA stood out,” says Bruzelle Ockhuizen.

“COTA performance was awesome, but I like the way the Western Youth Choir stood out with their beautiful voice. They surely deserved what they got because they pull their voice together and stood strong,” says Mercy /Uises.
