During judging prevailed a relatively calm atmosphere, but during the readout throughout the room circulated joy and enthusiasm of hundreds of singers whose choirs were called out. We were also called out - we won the golden plaque. That sent us to the second round, competing for the large goblet "Zlatna lipa Tuhlja". Out maestro Josip degl' Ivellio conducted three of his choirs and all of them won a paque: Mixed singing choir Emil Cossetto Zagreb won  the bronze plaque and Croatian singing club Slavulj Petrinja won the silver plaque.

In the second round with us competed:
  - Vocal ensemble "Sakcinski", Ivanec
  - Female singing choir "Dominica nova", Radlje ob Dravi
  - Female choir "Carmen manet", Kranj

The second round was trully special and drew out all the best that choirs could offer. The large goblet prand prix "Zlatna lipa Tuhlja" went to the Female choir "Carmen manet"

We're very grateful on out prize and are accepting it as the result of the labor we invested in this year and a half of existence. Through our eyes, the bigges prize was the thundering applause from the audience which trully touched our hearts.

We performed: 'Ave Verum', 'Jubilate Deo', 'Mramor moste', 'Zdravo tilo' and 'Kaljinka'.
Solo of 'Kaljinka' was sung by Roko Radovan
