Term Three

Week 6 – What are we gonna do?

This week I came to choir armed with pen and paper. I collected a few names at the end of choir spouses, partners or others willing to help with food and drink and so on for our BBQ and concert on the 11th July. If you need to find out whether you know anyone who can help, please do so and give me their names next week, for passing to jenny. Otherwise please do post something on the forum.

Only two more weeks of singing before our Preston garden party concert, details on this website of course, and a full list of all the sings for you to sing while rubbing those new potatoes.

What fun we had with our new warm up this week – an opportunity to noodle your way vocally through two chords. Ed came up with some aahhing and I did some oohing and there were a few other sounds happening… you need to be brave for this one and risk a few bum notes! Then after some Mr Bean impressions we tried to hit a few high notes. Mr Bean was delighted with the sock balanced on a guitar mounted high on the wall. Perhaps it will still be there next week.

We did do some singing, and tackled seven of our eight songs for the 20th June, and after I pointed out that choir missed out a line in ‘pipes of piece’ was given it as a solo, for my cheek! I hope you can still hear me when the choir is singing full force!

We ended with Jerusalem, good choice as we can really sing this one; remember thought the art of shifting gears, and sing softly when it comes to Holy lambs. Remember the Big Swell at the end and don’t peek too early, and another big thank you to Catherine who was manning our PowerPoints, with Michael off to yet another wedding! Keep Singing!
