There was one set piece, either In my Dream or Sisi sote, both by Andy Beck, and then two songs of their own choice.
Peak Vision Church in Havelock North was packed with supporters cheering on their children on stage.
"We didn't have enough chairs, there were so many people - it was a great day for the kids and they were all very excited."
The adjudicator was Katie MacFarlane, a recognised director of choirs in Wellington, and she was also impressed by the standard on display.
Ms MacFarlane said there was an exciting range of music and some great student leadership shown in some choirs.
"I really enjoyed myself and was pleased by what I saw throughout the day."
The Kids Sing comes under the umbrella of the New Zealand Choral Federation and is held throughout the North Island.
