Term three
Week 1 – Ay-way to a good start!

Another term, and another couple of new songs, a few new faces and some very old ones, and choir is in full swing! Or sing …

We had some admin to do this week, voting off songs from our first two concerts so that we can have a mix of old and new songs, and a barbeque, at our summer concert. It is provisionally booked for the 11th of July, to accommodate the naughty corner, as usual. We managed to vote off some songs really easily, and then Shine was removed, much to Michael’s chagrin.

The numbers of solos in our other concerts will be missing, as we perform more choir material together, but there may be things like first verses sung by soloists for example.

Our new songs this week seemed to fit very well with us, and in the original keys too! Which should please the large number of blokes we have in the choir. The naughty corner got stuck straight into the harmony part for ‘something in side so strong’ and were a bit miffed that Ed didn’t notice. He was too busy trying to sing with his eyebrows I think. We must all try to sing aggressively but without frowning, eyes brows and cheek bones up, think ‘I’m surprised I’m angry’, and that should do it!

For choir homework we should listen to the ‘you tube’ video of this song, and learn some of the South African pronunciations, so that we won’t make it sound too British. I have just looked at the ‘pipes of peace’ video again, and we could chose whether to be British or German I think …moustaches optional.

Welcome back, from Cat, the phantom blogger.
