North and East-Herts Musical Festival
Buntingford Musical Society's Successes
Buntingford was again well represented in the North and East-Herts Musical Competitions, held at Letchworth recently.
The competitors themselves have reason to be proud of their efforts, and the town and district congratulates them on again winning, in addition to other prizes, the handsome challenge cup, which was won by the Buntingford Musical Society in 1923 and 1924.
There was keen competition at this year's festival, and the adjudicator, Dr Whitaker, complimented the choirs on their performances. He especially alluded to the tenors.
Again we make no apology for attributing the Musical Society's success to the skill of their able conductor, Mr E.E. Dennis, who must feel very satisfied at winning the challenge cup three years out of four.
The awards were as follows:
Silver Challenge Cup - Buntingford Mixed Choir. "Sleepers Aware" (Bach).
First Prize - Buntingford Mixed Choir. "Full Fathom Five."
First Prize - Buntingford Mixed Choir. "Flora gave me fairest flowers."
Silver cup. Buntingford Men's Choir. "Hey Nonny No."
Second prize - Buntingford Ladies Choir. "Rose Leaves" and "Fly not so fast."
Fouth Prize - Buntingford Senior School Choir.
In the Ladies' Competition, Buntingford nearly secured the premier award, losing by one point only.
