13 March 2024 Vocal Skills training evening with Simon Arnott, Leatherhead Methodist Church Hall Many thanks to Simon Arnott, BABS Director of Music and Education, for coming along to rehearsal last week and and giving us a such a useful and interesting evening on improving our vocal skills. His enthusiasm and ideas made for a great, fun-filled evening where he covered everything from the importance of posture (and its impact on tuning), to movement and relaxation, to the joy of cup phonation (aka singing with a cup over your mouth). We're looking forward to making many of these ideas part of our regular warm-ups!

9 March 2024 Chichester Music Festival , St Joseph's CE Junior School Orchard St, Chichester, PO19 1DQ, England Second festival in a week for us as a reduced Chorus of only eleven (through illness and other commitments - nothing to do with the rugby ?) made the journey down to the south coast for the Chichester Festival. A special mention to both Steve M. and Clive for making the trip to support us. Again we entered two classes - Male Voice Choir and Barbershop Choir - and came away winning both with a score of 87 points (Distinction) in each. Adjudicator Gale Mortley gave some very useful feedback on phrasing and dynamics.
