Concerts next week folks, please arrive at 6.45pm if Ed likes you and everyone else at 6.55pm please. The stage is dark and the steps are steep so it's a little hard to be seen. Everyone wants Ed to be on a step ladder so we can see him!
Please don't come topless if your polo shirt hasn't arrived yet, and you are hoping it will be waiting for you. Did he really say that?
Tonight's format is another complete run through, in two halves and minus the solo section. All solos are being practiced secretly, some in little rooms at Wey Valley School.
I sat next to Jack who was juggling two lap tops and the speaker which stopped playing for reasons of its own, and lead to a lovely a Capella version of So Happy Together.
It got its act together for Song of the Sea. Ed went over the descant part again as we had a bit of a mind-the-gap moment.
Rosé next. Don't forget these long notes need a lot of support. Ed suggested some of us could mine and leave a gap if the air is running out. Let's hope we don't all do that. Although that would be very impressive in itself!
Medley time, we got slightly out of order but we promise we won't do that on the night! Sound Of Music precceded a break, which will of course wil happen on the night too.
And after more waffle from Ed we dived into the second half, giving anyone who had to permission to leave at 8pm. And following Dusty we had a good talking to about not talking and laughing in between songs, even if we really are utterly-butterly surprised that we sounded half decent. So there. We have been told.
Xmas medley next. Followed by a quick chorus of fairy tale of New York so see you all next week. Lots of love xxx
