Our annual entry to the festival consisted of the two songs which we are to perform at the British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS) convention in May – namely If I Give My Heart To You and Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart. The second number was slightly under rehearsed but it was entered as it was felt that it would be a good opportunity to get feedback from a professional adjudicator about our performance. The open barbershop section of the competition was between two female and three male choruses. With an under strength chorus our performance lacked a little depth but we finished up with an Adjudicator’s Award of Commended. With more work on both songs and taking notice of some excellent perceptive comments by the adjudicator, we should be able to improve on last year’s score when we get to Convention in May.
