The one with the very elderly locusts...

Harmonics today for our lovely warm-ups. Mmmm-ooooo-eeeeee-aaaaah! Then we hung out in the jungle and the village. Such fun!

Lots of notices tonight. A lost card was reunited with Ann. Coffee afternoons continue of course ...  Then followed a few plugs. Jenny plays mah Jong at night and you can too. See Yvonne for more info, and see Ed for new choir shirts and folder orders. Jack to change website so that the email address is clear, and new member James is looking for a lift to and from choir. And this year we have been asked to 'do' the rose garden again. 

On with singing, starting with one of our songs we have chosen to perform at The Music Festival, The Street Where You Live...
The harmony was missing - the one that comes in at 'lilac trees', and the gap was marked by Jack adding a (2,3) to the lyrics. Please don't sing the numbers!

Ed worked on building our energy and confidence. Because we need to sing without folders as much as possible, the words on the screen were taken away and those who had 'words' printed out sang from those. Hmmmm. 


Please also remember flat northern vowels, it's not jam and Jerusalem for this number. Jack complemented our volume even when we had turned away from our conductor!

Let's Go to San Fransisco next. Ed thought that we were sounding very successful, bigger and better than ever I fact! And I wrote that down right away so he can't deny it later. 

Please come to the dining room next week. This time it is not a lie, so please don't come to the hall for practice. 

Chicken tikka next, focussing on the low harmony. Ed demonstrated by singing the wrong words but the right melody. 

And to end, the ledgendery anthem that is Living On A Prayer! 

Thanks everyone! Keep singing! Cat xxxx
