Week three
Stuck in the middle with you …

We found the hall full of chairs, not in anticipation of a huge choir, but ready for assembly tomorrow. And if I heard right, we are back in our old practice room next week, as the hall wont be free. That will be nice and cosy, and it will be much easier to blog, since I became a bit buried in the rows and missed some of the best jokes … I was near the front until a mass exodus towards Ed, and even the naughty corner were where we could all see them!

Ed used backing tracks so he could conduct properly. He was much more professional than last week when he had too much fun playing with the barriers, and I think this reflected in our singing too. Ed even said we were good, and that doesn’t happen very often, does it dear choir?

‘Money, money, money’ had more …guts… this week, and ‘I’m a believer’ was much improved by the addition of some fine American drawls, which had to be erased again just in time for ‘bridge over troubled water’, and amazingly, it doesn’t sound like it will need too much work!

We over ran a little due to bad traffic, and were spared any work on ‘the prayer’ this practice, but rest assured that Ed has found all the proper Italian parts … talking of bad traffic im off to Yeovil, this blog is always created before 8am. Give your selves a pat on the collective back, look out for warm-ups on the website, and remember please to keep off the grass, other wise you will end up in detention, and that could be embarrassing at work … keep singing! xxx
