SMVC win Skipton Music Festival
Posted: 21st March 2024
On Saturday 9th March SMVC took part in the Skipton Music Festival held in Christ Church Skipton. Entered in Class 973 Male Voice Choir, the performance was of a high standard and the adjudicator awarded a distinction to SMVC, winning the class with a points score of 88.
To compete two own choice song were selected for performance by Cathy Sweet, Musical Director, two very different songs but both very technically challenging in their own right when sung in four part harmony. First was “There is Faint Music”, a Christmas song written by Dan Forrest and Nancy Buckley, the second being “Mr Blue Sky” by Jeff Lynne and arranged by John T Wallace.
After the dust had settled Cathy had the following message for the choir.
Wow wow wow!!
I am so proud of everyone who took part in the festival this afternoon!!
A really good adjudication especially against what he said about the other choirs!
I thought my heart would explode when we finished!
