A8 Class of the Watford Festival
Chess Valley Barbershop Singers
Date for the Watford Festival A8 octet competition
3 octets entered made up of convention chorus members
There is singing going on all day.
A bit more detail on Watford Festival. Due to numbers, or lack of them in certain areas, some dates have changed from tjose posted on the website. Our Section A8 is on 13th March 18:45 - 19:45. Please see attached.
Matthew is singing with another 2 groups, one of which includes Mike, Ian and Stevie. The latter 2 and John Lough, are also singing with another group. So the Knights have representatives in 6 of the 7 entries (I think 7 based on 60 mins worth of 8 min slots)
My intuition says we'll be taking 21 to Convention, or there abouts. The size of our groups is a maximum of 8 and a minimum of 4 obviously.
