The one where Jack popped back! Which was nice. He took the mic for a proper goodbye, after serving 10 years at DFS. We should be thanking him but he thanked us and shared some of his best memories. We gave him a huge round of applause. 

Jenny proposed a charity for us to support this year, who provide mental health support for young people. We usually have a vote but there’s really no need this year. We are all behind the choice of supporting WillDoes https://www.willdoes.co.uk/. 

We had a warm up then had a listen and sing along with 4 Chords a choral Medley and I could feel the concentration in the room. 300 songs later they were done. Ed sat at the piano to break it down. He said we did well, anyway. 

Our The Greatest Showman Medley was created by our choirmaster just for us. That’s why it’s so good. We tried very hard to get our stomps in the right place, and then had a sing through with the piano. Then it was time to break it down, especially working out some lovely overlapping to make us sound like a real choir. We stood to perform! 

The Sound of Silence has a sweet harmony. How lovely we all sounded. Ed played with the key a bit. 

Next we had John Denver sing Calypso to us. Sounds like a Disney movie that ought to be made I think.

Wow DFS you worked very hard tonight, go and have a biscuit xx
