THE KENTONES GO TO HOLLAND - AGAIN! |
| The chorus takes a starring role in the Internationaal Barbershop Festival in 'S-Hertogenbosch |
We knocked 'em dead with our Dutch-orange shirts, then we did it all over again with a song sung in Dutch!
We travelled out by coach on Thursday and returned on the following Sunday. We seemed to be singing non-stop, although there was also ample time to sample the Dutch beers and Schnapps.
To read more about the week-end and to see more pictures go to the October 2009 edition of 'The Kentonian'. You can find this in the drop down menu for "News" at the top of the page.
See a picture of Mike Corr, our Chorus Director, leading 2000 Barbershoppers in a mass-sing in the town square in the "photos" section, also see top of page. |

CLEAN SWEEP OF DISTINCTIONS! |
| Distictions awarded in three separate singing categories at the Croydon Music Festival on May 9th. |
The Croydon Music Festival has become an annual feature in the Kentones’ performance calendar and this year again the chorus excelled, giving first class performances in all three singing categories.
Under the direction of Michael Corr, the chorus received a Distinction and a Silver Salver for its performance in the Male Voice Choir section with renditions of ‘I'll Be Seeing You’ and ‘Do You Hear The People Sing?’ In the Gospel section the songs were ‘There's A Meeting Here Tonight’ and ‘Hush’, for which a Distinction was also awarded. Finally, for the Barbershop section, with the rousing ‘South Rampart Street Parade’ and the contrasting sentimental ballad ‘Once Upon A Time’, the chorus received yet another Distinction as well as regaining the Mifanwy Pascoe Trophy.

IN THE TOP TEN AT CONVENTION!!! |
| Our Highest Position Ever! |
A delightful BABS Convention at Llandudno was crowned by the stunning result we achieved in the
chorus competition. Our 62% confirmed our ranking as a ‘B’ chorus and gave us 10th place overall. Our highest position ever!
The result is particularly pleasing as fewer choruses achieved B category standard this year. Last year there were twenty whereas this year there were only fourteen; and we were one of them!
It was an extremely encouraging result, but also we had a lot of fun.

BUMPER CHARITY COLLECTION |
| £764 collected for the Demelza Capital Appeal |
'The Kentones' were in the Bromley 'Glades' shopping precinct on Sunday 21st December, singing for charity. Between 11am and 1pm the chorus sang through a mixed programme of popular show songs, spirituals, 60s pop and Christmas carols, much to the delight of shoppers and passers by. For the second consecutive year the club has chosen to support the Demelza Capital Appeal and is grateful to those who gave so generously to raise a total of £764.00 for this very worthy cause.
