Portsmouth Music Festival

Portsmouth Music FestivalFor a chorus that has not competed before,this was the perfect choice. Not to0 big or intimidating,friendly and fun. A ladies chorus,"One A-ccord" came from the Scottish Borders to join forces with "Spiritof- The-South",a local chorus. Together we sang as"Crossing Borders"which was very apt. After a welcome drink with us on Friday evening,a bit of sight-seeing on Saturday morning,and four hours training after lunch,we were getting on really well and everything came together,thanks to our Directors. Anyone who has sung Acappella, or Four Part Harmony unaccompanied,will appreciate the time and effort that goes into all these competitions and we all just had the best time. The judges comments to every chorus were given very sensitively and always with encouragement. To the delight of the Scottish ladies(and us)we were awarded a cup in the Opportunity Knocks section.

This was our own choice of songs and we sang "And So It Goes"and "With A little Help From My Friends". "At Last" and "Taking A Chance On Love"gained us a Trophy.So,after a thoroughly good weekend our new friends went home with plenty to think about.
