He doesn’t actually read this does he?
We listened to KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE. Some song along. Then Ed put on the backing track. He pointed out the rule of end of line notes going up or down. Go down every time you are about go onto ‘The game’ otherwise go up at the end of those lines!
SEE AMID THE WINTERS SNOW was next. Lesley reminded us to sing the Sacred infant verse quietly and reflectively. Then for the chorus, sing like nobody’s listening. We stood.
For a certain David Essex fan we sang A WINTER’S TALE, with Ed at the keyboard and he demonstrated the sweet low harmony part.
We Wombled into a WOMBLING MERRY CHRISTMAS with the song to sing along too. Ed reminded us to make Pom Poms. Ed was still glittering as he said we shouldn’t stare at our lyric sheets all the time.
Apparently Dorch did very well last night with CAROL OF THE BELLS. Ding Dong. Our first run through wasn’t too bad. In the key of G we sang it a Capella. It’s not easy to breathe, perhaps share oxygen with a buddy?
Rum-pum-pum-pums replaced dongs as we sang THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY/PEACE ON EARTH. Next week there will be no BING. Just probably a few DONGs still …
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE filled the speakers. Everyone agreed Ed sang it the best of all. Maybe a solo with choir as backing singers?
We stood to sing O HOLY NIGHT which we know and love.
Oooh FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK!
Woo boo DFS. Christmas is coming! Keep singing and don’t forget your balls. Hands up who’s already made theirs? Xxx
