The one with the raffle ... wait no, the one with the posh warm up. Donna Nobis Parchem to be precise. It’s ok for me until we are supposed to sing it in rounds! 

Then a proper warm up before the raffle was drawn, and we raised about £65 for our charity. 

Well done to the sensible people who stayed at home in the warm last week, you were of course missed greatly. This week we only had some wind to deal with. Next week we have the common room to deal with, ready for luuuurve though on account of the date. 

Fayre in The Square is in place, 11.30 on Saturday 25 May, followed by Ed’s solo set. 

And then we sang our West Side Story Medley, and then looked at some volume levels, as per the sheet music. Mike asked me for a pen I didn’t have. Then to work on the men’s parts, the ladies sang softly in support mode. The ladies need to watch some of the timings! At one point I’m sure Underlay changed to Olay, and Ed swapped some Las for Das and then back again. We beefed up our accents as best we could, and met the soprano line for ‘even death won’t part us now’. Sweet. 

And as a treat for all that hard work we sang I’ve Been Waiting For You and at the end I googled inflatable banana. Nah? Nice and wide with those Nanas, folks! 

Tonight extra talent was making the perfect BeeGees sound for the into to How Deep Is Your Love. Ed has changed the key again this week. 

We stood to sing All Of Me even tho is still the best one at skat singing, and I still sound like a chicken.... please don’t forget that short ending! 

To finish, a meeting about the next choir tour, and a goodnight to all. Keep singing, Cat xxx
