Buntingford Choirs at the Hertfordshire Musical Festival
Certificates for Both Choirs
Although the Buntingford Choir did not retain the Silver Challenge Cup, won by them at the Herts. Musical Festival last year, they came close to winning another.
In many ways they had the fortunes of the day against them, nevertheless everyone enjoyed themselves - one of the chief things - and the certificates gained by both the children's and the adults' choirs show that Buntingford is not a great way behind.
Children's Day
Mr E.E. Dennis took the school choir on Friday, and the children enjoyed the delightful ride to the City of S. Albans, where the festival was held.
The children did their best, and were successful in tieing for second place.
In his remarks the adjudicator said the Buntingford choir sang the first three verses of the unison song beautifully, but dropped marks on the fourth verse.
The choir was awarded a certificate of merit.
Seniors' Day
Saturday was the day for the advanced choirs, and there was a record number of entrants.
The Buntingford choir lost the silver cup which they won last year, but obtained a certificate for sight-reading, in a class where they have generally failed before.
In the class for female voices they also did well - winning another certificate.
The Buntingford Women's Institute did not compete in the festival this year.
