"The Music Makers" .

As Carlton Male Voice Choir approached its 90th Year in 1998, The Choir wished to create a memento of its important anniversary by the commissioning of a Trophy to be called "The Music Makers" .
In terms of philosophy it was decided to invite Management of the then Clarendon College to accept the Trophy. It was to be awarded annually to a student who had achieved best all round improvement and attainment of performance during the Year.
The college (now New College Nottingham) willingly agreed, with a trophy presented to the first holder at the Choir's Annual Concert in April 1998. The winning student performed for 15 minutes.
The Award has proved a great success, with now 5 young people brought into contact with the Choir, which shows that bridges have to be built with the young, and we have succeded in that.
The winners so far have been a vocalist; pianist; and saxophonist with each of themgoing on to work for higher standards of attainment, and we hope will remember their contact with the Carlton Male Voice Choir.
