11.40 is the time for our performance at the fayre in the square venue on bank holiday Monday 26 May.
We reviewed our running order for All Saints and jumped straight in with Let The River Run! It was rather flat and lacked something. Make sure you get a warm up before our concert because we need to give it our best. We divided to share out the overlaps. Ed wanted to give this another run through to break it down, but stopped when he was happy!
The Long And Winding Road lacked drive. It must not become a long and winding dirge! Ed demoed a few actions but we won't be trying those. So the second run through was about finding more DRIVE, seriously no pun intended!
Heaven Is A Place On Earth was ok. More harmony parts please!
Sing - The Gary Barlow number we remembered very well, with Catherine back for the solo part. We discussed the overlapping sections which worked so well last time we sang this! More people needed for the echoes too! At the second run through we were looking to work that overlap and we were treated to Jack's upstaging of Ed. Haha. Julie said we should do the ending without music and we cracked it. Yay!
How Happy Together!
Star Maker sounded good but more lower harmony in chorus would help to really build that up.
First Of May was ok!
Goodbye To Love gains a Pass too! Yay!
Comments were invited from choir members after our first run, through but no one was brave enough.
Ed wanted to take to the piano and run through Midnight Blue, mostly our parts. Needs some YouTube listening, so that's your homework chaps!
We stood for You Raise Me Up, which is very apt and going to be our secret encore so please don't read this if you are coming to the concert. The rest of you, well done Dorset For Singing and have a great week! Cat xxx
