The running order will follow and was sung in order tonight, beginning with our wake-up song -
Build Me Up Buttercup and it needed more fire in its belly! Do not mix up your babies and your darlings or we will sound silly.
Hallelujah saw me terribly distracted by texts from a poorly 11 year old so I sent her snippets as we sang to make her smile! You don’t know how far your voice goes sometimes!
Voulez Vous has a nice funky backing track with a decent intro and a dad-dance to go with it too. Ed too responsibility for that fact that we fell apart on this one, and gave us a second chance, both to sing it right and see his groovy moves, and it was much better.
How Far I’ll Go has two very important gaps! And follow the commas for tiny little breaths so you can keep going. After going all through the running order, we came back to this song again.
The Rose requires us to be uniform in our singing of river, razor, etc. making them a tidy three syllables!
And with very heavy-metal backing, even heavier than the original, comes Since You’ve Been Gone and our choir master was very excited! It sounded nice. Too nice.
The Vicar Of Dibley. Breathing is vital. You can squeeze in a little one before ‘beside’ if you feel short.
I Am What I Am found Ed’s smart watch announcing that trying to conduct DFS results in a Dynamic Workout with three bourbon creams. I wish my Fitbit was half as impressed with our singing because some of these numbers really feel like we’ve been jogging. This song being so fast is no exception and because of that requires really good diction.
And for a special treat at the very end we sang Jerusalem! Wow!
Well done DFS, I love you, keep singing, see you soon xxxx
