2023 Calendar
cheeky for charity
On the 22nd October 2022, the Decibelles descending upon Boughton House for their photoshoot. Nerves and excitement filled the air, but great fun was had. The day bought the ladies closer together, with lots of laughter.
The choir wanted to do something different, and raise some money for charity along the way. That's when this idea was born!
If you wish to support our little venture, the calendars are now on sale. These can be purchased through choir members, at our concerts or in the very near future, on our website. Watch this space!
From each calendar sold £2 will be donated to Breast Friends Northamptonshire.
Ukraine Charity Concert - 13th July
BRASSED OFF

An amazing £1560 was raised that evening!
North Northamptonshire Music Festival
COMPETITION No. 2!
On Saturday 11nd June The Decibelles attended the North Northamptonshire Musival festival's inaugural competition.
The choir entered four categories - Community, Ladies, Sacred and Show Songs.
The choir came away winning the Ladies (89) and Community class (92), and coming second in Musicals (89) and Sacred (92). We are thrilled with our scores, and as you can see there were high marks to beat!
The choir then went on to compete in the Choir of Choirs category (the top four scoring choirs of the day, with a song chosen by the adjudicator), where they placed 2nd.
Musical Memories
This is the first competition of its kind in Kettering since the demise of the 109-year-old Kettering Eisteddfod back in 2018.
The Salvation Army Citadel was filled with joy, camaraderie and song. All choirs were so supportive of one another, and it was a truly wonderful day where we are sure all competitors will take away magical memories with them.
