Ed gave everyone good feedback for their singing at The Music Festival. Someone had complained that a more proffessional shouldn't be taking part in the event and the gossip was quickly put to bed because we are nice.
The adjudicator complemented that super high note from Life On Mars, we were called disciplined, but we are always being told that out folders are a distraction. Choir fed back that they missed seeing Ed conducting as he plays live at the festival as a rule .. I offered to conduct but I don't suppose you would see me very well either!
We will have a 4 week break from choir at Easter returning on April 28th. Dorch get three weeks off as Ed owes them a week. We can slip in too if we want?
First song, Adele singing Make You Feel My Love. Well us actually. Ed laid out some of the timings and the size of our Ss. And there were some nice harmonies apearing. Then after a second run through Ed declared it In The Bag, which is nice ... We sang it in C btw...
Time for a medley, Forever Motown which kicks off with Dancing in the Street, something we have grappled with before, mostly the timings! I Cant Help Myself made me think of honey-nut type cerial commercials. Reach Out we have sung recently. Ha. I Heard It Through The Grapevine sounded like previous choir material too, we had to change a miss typed line due to Ed multitasking earlier today. What Becomes of the Broken Hearted. And the finale, Ain't No Mountain High Enough. The latter goes up really high so some of us should not try to get up there and we were in need of a ladies lower part. Can I blog that? Ed's discovery of a stray flat really helped matters, then it was time for another full run through! Ed liked that and said it was rather, rather good. We gave it some welly.
Finally for a treat we sang the rousing Les Mis number, Do You Hear The People Sing? Just for Fulvia. Yes.
Next week we should be back in the hall again but until then, keep singing. Lots of love, Cat xxx
