On Friday 14th May 2010 Jan & Tonic Quartet took part in the Regional Quartet Contest for the 7th time. We sang “You Turned the Tables On Me” (a new uptune for us) and “If I Had My Life To Live Over” (we'd done this ballad before). 27 quartets from all over Australia, including one from Darwin, took to the stage to try to impress the judges and entertain the audience, so it was a tough competition! BlackJaQ Quartet from Perth were the winners with a score of 600 (the first quartet from our Region to achieve this score) and we placed 13th with a score of 466. The judges comments have given us plenty to work on for our next trip to comp in Newcastle next year and we've already started to work on improving our performance standard.
It was good to relax on the Saturday and enjoy watching the Chorus Competition, won by Perth Chorus with a score of 616. There were some very entertaining performances, especially from Bathurst Chorus who came 2nd with only 40 singers on stage and a score of 595.
Mandurah, where the Convention was held, is a very pretty place to visit and we enjoyed our time there, with the support of 7 other WHC members and Barbara's sister Jackie, cheering us on.
GO GIRLS!

ReplyDeleteMandurah is a great place to visit and live. Located 1 hours drive South of Perth, Mandurah has much to offer. Many people that visit, end up living here.
