Diamond Valley Bendigo Bank Vocal Eisteddfod
Winners of the 2008 Diamond Valley Aria.
The Diamond Valley Bendigo Bank Vocal Eisteddfod is a small singing competition sponsored by the
Hurstbridge and Diamond Creek Bendigo Community Bank, consisting of five open vocal section, which is
conducted over Melbourne Cup Day.
The number performing in each section is restricted to 20, and entries are accepted in order of
receipt.
The competition takes place in All Saints Anglican Church, Greensborough. Caterers will provide
lunch, dinner, morning and afternoon tea and supper for the convenience of competitors and audience.
It is hoped that entrants will come and stay for the day and enjoy a friendly "relaxed" atmosphere (at a competition!). The adjudicator, accompanists and members of the committee will be joining competitors for the meals, so feel free to discuss any aspects of the competition or your crits. Don't ask why you didn't win - you might be told!
Detailed criticisms will be provided by the adjudicator for competitors in each section. These will be available in the foyer at the conclusion of the section.
There will be a special $30 encouragement award for the most promising singer not placed in the first three sections.
