Term 3 week 2
Cake – no cake was mentioned this week

We did lots of lovely warm ups this week, enabling us to really belt out a couple of new songs, and an old one, Abba’s SOS. It was nice to try a new warm up too.

We tackled SOS first, ed said it went a bit flat at the first concert, not enough emotion, so if we try to think along the lines of being jilted, love rats, and divorce papers along with a few pleas for reconciliation we should be able to get some emotion in there. But no eyebrows please, frowning just makes us look like the Muppets. Well, it does Ed anyway.

One of our new songs it a fantastic eighties number, keeping the dream alive, I expect its one that is very dear to Blog Reader, and it has lovely choir potential as there are many parts to be sung. We will probably need an Uber-Naughty Corner as well as the regular one, and some spare men would be nice to cover all those high and low parts.

Finally there’s news of our new fund raising ‘fun’, calendar (choir folders optional of course), and photos emailed to Ed please. Either that or we just sing Jerusalem very proudly - like a proper choir, with nice big mouths and cheekbones as usual! And as far as other fund raising goes, we will need some raffle prizes for our next concert, instead of a retiring collection to see if we can better our other two performances, so if you are or know of a friendly business willing to donate please let Ed or Michael know, and sorry for not putting that in last week.

Thanks for reading, Cat xxx
