Harmony College 2008 is 34 days away.

BABS Harmony College will celebrate its 30th birthday at a new venue - the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham. Great accommodation in a single block, all rooms with en-suite facilities, good restaurant in a huge atrium and classrooms and lecture theatres all fully equipped with audio/visual equipment. We think you'll like the change and it comes with very little increase in costs. What more could you want?

There are specific grants for those enrolling on the Fundamental Coaching class and for anyone under 18. In addition, grants are available for teachers and student teachers who are not BABS members. Why not get in touch with your local school and tell them about Harmony College? This year, teachers' grants cover the full cost so there's really no excuse. Click the button for More Information.

Help choose the songs for Harmony College 2009.

The song nominations were a little slow last year and, as a result, the sight singing Pick and Mix class was not held. Most of the songs at the top of the list have now been sung and either used or rejected as too difficult for Harmony College. Let's have some new nominations that we can try out at next year's college in preparation for 2009.

Either find College Songs under the Contact menu or just click here Songs
