BABS Convention 2007

SOOOOOOOO excited about convention in only 8 days!

 

WOOOOO!

Is anyone else as excited as me, or am I being a bit weird about this?!

 

 

Let's get this forum back up and running - does anyone have any questions about convention? Maybe from those who've not been before?

When is everybody arriving? I'm getting there on thursday night and it'd be great to see some people round and about that night for a quiet pint or four...

Cant wait either its gonna

Cant wait either its gonna be ace.

 Just a reminder that we are singing Bright was the NIght followed by South Rampart Street. So get your teaching aids out and listen to your part over and over again between now and next week. Hopefully we'll have a room available for rehearsal friday evening to polish our performance. Keep eyes and ears on phones and check here daily as well as your emails for further details.

Now i know we all like a drink especially at Barbershop do's but please be responsible on Friday evening. It would be a complete disaster to go out on stage saturday dehydrated or worse...hungover.

I'll be down thursday too along with RichW so would be nice to get together for a bit of chin wag with who ever else is there.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon

I'm pretty excited. Getting there on the Friday morning, ready to support Cadence, This Way Up, Rough cut and my dad in SHQ Too. (He's like me only a bit older, lower voice, more resonance)

Oh and also to sing in my quartet SHQ.

Good luck to everyone taking part, it's going to be a belter.

As usual, Duncan is right.

We will also meet at 11pm in the bar to

1. Go over details for saturday morning (when & where etc) and

Stage gear will be:

The new black shirts (if you don't have one, you'll be given one friday night).  These will be out, not tucked in.

Black TROUSERS, not jeans. 

Black shoes, not trainers or patent ones.

Necklaces are fine, and no watches on stage.

Remember to go over the moves for south rampart street, if you don't know them, all someone who does.

What an awesome weekend!

Congratulations to This Way Up on their first medal, no doubt the first of many!

Also congratulations to Cadence and Rough Cut who both had pretty impressive first outings!

The Youth Chorus improved on their marks from last year, nice to know we're making progress.

Can't wait until next year!

I hope to see lots of you at prelims this year too so if you're not in a quartet "get involved" in the words of Andy Allen!

I don't know about you guys,

I don't know about you guys, but I had a truly EPIC weekend!

 

Congratulations to all the youth quartets that took part! We were all top ten, which is an amazing achievement!

 

Really looking forward to the June rehearsal! Can't wait to start learning some new songs and getting ready for Harmony College!

 

Scarborough was brilliant, it couldn't have gone any better personally...

Lets get even more youth quartets ready for prelims coz Cheltenham is already shapin up to be a slammin convention!!!

You were all on great form and the only trouble was that we had to come home!

Anyone else sleep for ever when they got back?

Thanks Tom for putting rehearsal videos up on the members' area and for putting the photos into galleries so that you can admire yourselves/show your mums....

See you at Great Barr.
