News and Events - 2007
March 2007:
We are extremely proud to have won not only the Canterbury Cup
in the Barbershop Section of the 2007 Isle of Wight Music Festival
but also the Mrs Florence Duggan Rose Bowl for the highest single
marks in the vocal and choir in the Senior Section, AND the John
Flower Cup for the choir gaining the highest overall marks in the
Senior and Junior Sections. The competition was held in St John's
Church, Newport on Friday 9th March and the adjudicator awarded
us a score of 90 (the highest score he has ever given!) and announced
our performance to be "Outstanding".
The Adjudicator's Remarks included: "Dazzling! A great start
- attention grabbing - lots of energy and fine diction - good dynamics
and tempo changes - this was very precisely done!"
This photo shows a few of us celebrating after the event!
