Once again TCEF visited Las Rosas, this time to participate in the 45th Annual Choir Festival with the Barbershop Boys from Pretoria, South Africa. The arrival was at the Cultural house where they had the official reception with the local authorities. Following a very warm reception, they went home with their host families to relax and enjoy some quality time with them.

The next day, the activities started at 10 in the morning on a city tour, where they visited the church, municipal buildings, schools and parks. They then had some free time with their hosts and returned to their homes until it was time to go to the theatre to prepare for their practice and performance.

That night was the 45th Annual Choir Festival of Las Rosas. First, the ECA choir from this city performed; then, it was time for the Youth Choir of Rosario; and finally the Barbershop Boys performed. After the show the choirs went for dinner together and had a wonderful time in an impromptu dancing and singing exchange with those at the dinner.

The following morning they visited an agricultural school in Bouquet where they sang for the primary school students and then they interacted and had lunch together with them. Back in the city of Las Rosas they were invited to participate in the anniversary of the Police Station where Ntsako, James and Mfundo held the South African flag and the Barbershop Boys presented the South African National Anthem.

The students with the staff members of St. Alban's College also went to a Argentine Traditional Music and Dance Academy where they learnt about the academy's activities and enjoyed a show especially prepared for them. Finally, the Mayor of Las Rosas declared the Barbershop Choir 'Citizens of Honor' and awarded each one of them with a commemorative Argentine flag.

The following day, after lunch, they departed from Las Rosas en route to Arrecífes in the Province of Buenos Aires.
