How It All Began

How it all Began

In the summer of 2006, a call went out for supporters of our 4 regions of rugby. Could you sing in support for your region? Over 80 people answered the call for Newport Gwent Dragons, for the new S4C reality show Codi Canu.
Under the guidance of Choir Masters Cefin and Rhian Roberts and Tim Rhys-Evans the Dragons Choir rehearsed for months in the hope of winning the ultimate prize, to sing our National Anthem at the Wales vs England match at the Millennium Stadium.
For months the supporters battled through obstacles facing them, many choir members learning new skills and others dusting off old skills that hadn't been used since their school days.
With the unique and fun way the choir masters taught them, the Dragons choir tackled each and every challenge that came their way. On 17th March, 2007, Cor y Dreigiau sang their hearts out for their region, winning the competition and sang with pride our National Anthem in front of a capacity crowd of over 70,000 people.

Yn ystod haf 2006, galwyd am gefnogwyr ein 4 rhanbarth o rygbi. A allech chi ganu i gefnogi'ch rhanbarth? Atebodd dros 80 o bobl yr alwad I gefnogi Dreigiau Casnewydd Gwent, ar gyfer sioe realiti newydd S4C Codi Canu.
O dan arweiniad Côr feistri enwog Cefin a Rhian Roberts a Tim Rhys-Evans bu Côr y Dreigiau yn ymarfer am fisoedd yn y gobaith o ennill y wobr yn y pen draw, i ganu ein Hanthem Genedlaethol yng ngêm Cymru yn erbyn Lloegr yn Stadiwm y Mileniwm.
Am fisoedd bu'r cefnogwyr yn brwydro trwy'r rhwystrau sy'n eu hwynebu, llawer o aelodau'r côr yn dysgu sgiliau newydd ac eraill yn dileu hen sgiliau na chawsant eu defnyddio ers eu dyddiau ysgol.
Gyda'r ffordd unigryw a hwyliog y gwnaeth meistri'r côr eu dysgu, aeth Côr y Dreigiau i'r afael â phob her a ddaeth eu ffordd. Ar 17eg Mawrth, 2007, canodd Côr y Dreigiau eu calonnau allan, dros eu rhanbarth, gan ennill y gystadleuaeth a chanu gyda’n balchder ein hanthem Genedlaethol o flaen torf o dros 70,000 o bobl.
