Another busy weekend for Main Street Sound . On Friday we were singing in a concert as part of the Ryedale Spring Festival in the newly restored Wesley Centry in Malton.. Two other choirs also performed, The Chanticleer Singers and the Young Crescendos. It was a lovely evening and we had some very complimentary remarks from the audience!
On Saturday we made our annual trip to Harrogate Music Festival, where we took second place in the Barbershop Chorus class. Our quartet, Noteworthy also took part in the quartet class, which they won!
Well done everyone!
