Solo Duet and Quartet Contest 2019 – Results
Sunday March 24th The Annual Solo Duet and Quartet Contest was held at Studley High School and drew enthusiastic support over all categories. The adjudicators for the day were Paul White and Warren Bellshaw Commenting on the day, organiser Dave Birch said “The competition was a great success and was well supported. Both adjudicators Paul White and Warren Bellshaw were very impressed with the two competitors in the 15 to 18 section both with their lyrical playing the slow melody which Warren Bellshaw said simply took his breath away and the sheer excellence of technique which Paul White found impressive in the Air Varie. The Desford Chicks Quartet gave a sparkling performance in the Adult Quartet with Arrow Valley raising a few laughs with their title of Liquid Mud for their Tuba Quartet.” Results Slow Melody Aged 9 to 11 First Place Jennifer Richardson Alcester Victoria Second Alec Banner Shipston Town Third Tallula Matthews Shipston Town Slow Melody Aged 12 to 14 First Place Christopher Oddy Enderby Second Toula Thomas Cubbington Third Ben Hone Arrow Valley Slow Melody Aged 15 to 18 First Place Luke Barker Jaguar Landrover Second Grace Coates Shipston Slow Melody Adult First Place Trystan Jones A W Parker Drybrook Second Patricia Woodings Ratby Third Annette Cairns Cubbington Air Varie Aged 14 and Under First Place Christopher Oddy Enderby Second Alec Banner Shipston Town Air Varie Aged 15 to 18 First Place Luke Barker Jaguar Landrover Second Grace Coates Shipston Town Duets Aged 11 and Under First Alec Banner and Tallula Matthews Shipston Town Second Peter Coates and Tallula Matthews Shipston Town Duets Aged 15 to 18 First Place Luke Barker Jaguar Landrover and Grace Coates Shipston Town Adult Duets First Place Trystan Jones and Rebecca Aston A W Parker Drybrook Second Grace Coates and David Birch Shipston Town Quartet Under 19 First Place Shipston Town Quartet Adults First Place Desford Chicks Second Shirley Tubas Third Liquid Mud (Arrow Valley) Percussion First Alec Banner
