Traffic Angels parked up the Fire Busters to take the 2019 Police Cooperative Credit Union (PCCU)–Standard Caribbean Shipping Inc. (SCS) Police Christmas Carolling Contest last Friday, at Central Police Station, in Kingstown.

Traffic Angels walked away with five of the seven prizes in the senior choirs’ category including Best Traditional Carol; Best Original Song, Best Speech and Best Turned Out/Best Dressed Choir.

Uniformly dressed in their colourful white pants, red shirts, white sneakers, red and white socks and red and white baseball caps, Traffic Angels thrill the audience, first with their traditional song, “Joy To The World” followed by their original song, “A Joyous Season”.

The keenly contested competition saw all of the choirs doing good renditions. But in the opinion of the three independent judges, Traffic Angels’ performances were superior.

Second place went to Central Carollers, who sang “When A Child Is Born” and “Christmas On The Beat” while the third position went to the 2018 champions, Fire Busters.
