The day dawned much less soggy than the one before and a nice wee crowd of choir and audience members gathered at the church to raise the roof yet again. I think we have been singing here a good five years now, we are always asked back!
Our concert raised a noble £150, not counting all the purses that got emptied into the collection tins! Choir sounded super and after the interval and the raffle Ed sang a handful of songs, and Mike P and Cat-the-Carnival-Queen-Blogger also sang one solo each. Mike and Ed really raised the roof, and I proved that in Dorsets bestest community choir, your best really is good enough, when I forgot my words, but was loved anyway!
It wasn't that I hadn't learned my words, as I proved it to myself while practicing with a hairbrush all week. It was just one of those Frozen Moments (let it go ...) where your brain closes the drawer on the file cabinet for no reason at all. It's a challenging song to sing anyway, I would love to sing this one with choir. We could really make it big and you lot can keep going when I have a brain-fart!
The applause says it all really, especially when choir have been worrying about a particular song and then the audience loves it. Our special moment was taking a gamble on a brand new song and pulling it off amazingly, and no hair-dryers needed. Total Eclypse Of The Heart was our smashing encore. And we didn't even hear anyone shout, 'More!'
Well done DFS, see you next week with sweets and I bless the sun to be shining on us all, Cat XXX
