There were
31 choirs that participated, most of them were from the Zionist church and their music is
based on african cultural rythm. The judges, Mr F. Cele, Mr B. Majola, Mrs R. Zikhali and
Miss T. Khoza faced the difficult task of selecting the winners.

Competition time with

In a competition such as this the task is made simpler by using a score sheet which has
different criteria:
Accuracy (correct notes, time, values and intonation)
Tone (quality, control, naturalness)
Diction (pronunciation of words, significance)
Rhythm (life, freedom)
Phrasing (shape, flow, melodic line)
Interpretation of the song - Is the message conveyed to the audience? Is it clear? Is it a
gospel song?

A point of
interest was that the winning group took part in the same competition last year, did not
win, but noted their weak points on the score sheet and subsequently improved on these
things and thus won this year - well done!
The day was a huge success and enjoyed by all. Our sincere thanks to our valued sponsors,
aQuellé..
