Singers and percussion instrument players took their turn in the spotlight at one of Tayside’s longest running music contests.
Rising stars from schools across the region battled it out on day four of the Perform in Perth festival.
Pupils competed in the xylophone, timpani and verse speaking categories at the AK Bell Library’s Soutar Theatre.
The event is now in its 93rd year and still going strong. It is held over two weeks at venues across the city, including the St Leonard’s in the Fields Church and Perth Concert Hall.
The competition continues on Friday with readings of poems by Burns and Soutar, as well as verses from the Bible.
