term 2, Week 4 – oh look, a lion!

A quick hard warm up this week, as we were set to rattle through five songs, adding in this weeks new one, ‘the cirle of life’, from the lion king. Ed transalted the talking bit from the start of the song. As if Ed doesn’t have enough to do, really, what with being so famous and dealing with his stalker, and fans on facebook. He confirmed that we will do a 20 minute set for THE BEST OF… which means time for one song, twice and one of Eds jokes. We will not have any words on a screen for this performance! Learn your words!

This week we worked quite hard again on your raise me up. Its got a GAP in it that’s very important, and a very high bit that we need to tackle confidently so it doesn’t disapear, so do your housework to the tune of ‘you raaaay, you raaaay’, this week, that’s a top E if I remember rightly and you want to check with your recorder. And about that GAP – its very simple; there are now some dots in the right place, and the words after the GAP are now on a new line. There’s really no excuses to get it wrong now, and every likehood that Ed with throw the whole clavinova at you if you get it wrong next week. So lets try extra hard, and get it in the right place, too! We are also dropping an extra corous.

Talking of trying hard, the naughty corner stood up during some of their harmony parts, and managed to earn a gold star for efforts. Well done naughty corner.
I would like to point out that this blog isalso very heavily edited between leaving my computer and arriving on our lovely website. I didn’t say half of the things writen here, at all. And if you are wondering who on earth I am, look out for some woffle and a stunning picture under the ‘about us’ section. I trust you have already admired the pictures of our concert in the gallery? All thanks to michael who maintains the site.

Have a good week, from the phantome blogger!
