Then we warmed up. The lack of blog posts reflect the lack of Cat but I was back on the front row under the watchful eye of the choirmaster. In news, Ed had a really bad cold and Jack was at a 6th form open evening, and also sent apologies for being absent.
We began to sing from our booklets, starting at the back with Rule The World. It all went well until we split into two parts. And tried to swap halfway through, so Ed broke it down for us, before we stood to perform.
We began to sing Run from our boots. It was the useful version with up and down arrows which gladdened my weary heart. Ed got the clap for his playing and we got a reminder that only low voices must start. Much work was done on the notes of the chorus until it sounded rather goosebumpy to me on the front row, sitting as everyone stood to belt it out.
And new to choir this term we sang Nights In White Satin and Don’t Stop Believing then I Dreamed A Dream zipping rappidly backwards through our booklet and missing out a few numbers. We looked more closely at the latter’s notes, and the harmonies too. Ed was pleased and said we sounded like a proper choir.
Can’t Take My Eyes Off You bust fourth from our collective lungs!
Well done DFS I see why I missed you so much! Keep singing, Cat The Blogger! Xxx
