Term Three

Week 9 – not panicking at all, now …

But we only have two weeks until our song-filled concert on the 11th July, when we will need to be able to sing sixteen choir songs perfectly. Tonight we looked at some remaining songs from our play list, and voted on those. It’s amazing what passion the choir can express when asked for their opinion. Try using this to give more oomph to ‘lean on me’ and Ed will be happy.

Choir got a little distracted by some exciting news, when Michael and Catherine shared the scan picture of their baby due in December. It looks like Michael got his teeth into more than just a new job this year, and im sorry to say that this section has been edited and isn’t the cats words! Michael had to employ his laptop today, as the school computers were down. Hooray for laptops and their funny keyboards! Some rapid typing was done to change things on the screen and stop poor old Ed from getting confused while playing.

It says ‘kiss me – Catherine’ in one of Michael’s folders … not as scandalous as first appears, if you remember it was my shy solo at our very first concert, the video of which we have not yet seen, before I became blogger. I fancy doing that one again. Ed hinted at solos again for this concert, but there will be more choir songs of course, to keep the punters happy.

Look out for a version of Ed’s new choir song on line, ‘song of the sea’, so you can practice. It was a nice easy one to pick up, and we enjoyed singing it. Please bring blue chiffon, seagulls on strings and ice creams to next weeks choir practice to get us all in the mood. Have a good week, and keep singing, this is Cat, at the keyboard, before breakfast…XXX
