Ed has a huge problem finding a venue for our 2nd April concert *which must allow our customary raffle* as many places are booked or aren’t big enough. DFS members shouted out suggestions because we are helpful like that.
We discussed our dress code (very very smart) and the sort of structure for our police-shared concert and then we started with Wild West Hero ... the new backing track was considered too high but when Jack dug our the original one, we mostly felt it was too low!
So that went to one side, while we played with our ALW In Concert Medley. After a good set of reminders and working thru some sections in particular, choir gave it their best shot, in its entirety, and with the super sexy backing track.
All went really well apart from The Phantom which more than half of the choir sang in the wrong key. Spectacular rather. But wrong. Back to the piano to try and put us right! Well almost. People must really not peak too soon.
Burning Bridges and All Around My Hat have never been closely related in my time but it does work really rather well. But I did feel rather old. Some odd timings in the latter so Ed went over them for us to forget next week. Careful now.
And to finish we slipped into the The Skye Boat Song and it was all lovely and nice apart from no one does seagull impressions or wave a seagull on a stick. We could stand out if we did that at the nice police concert.
How hard you all worked tonight DFS, go home and have a nice ovalteen, I love you, Cat The Blogger x
