6 June 2024

Welcome to T6 - the final half term. Thanks to all singers at Fayre in the square. And also thanks to all who came to sing in Dunelm with the Ukelele band, they were very impressed. Roll on 22 June 2pm at HSBC. 

Swingtime 7 July 1.15 

Hilary’s thing is afternoon tea 3.30pn for singing Osmingtin village hall.

Then relax. 

And we warmed up! Some of which was quite shouty to get us ready to sing SECRET LOVE. Oi! Ed would like more people on harmony/echo so do give it a go if you can. 

SUMMERTIME next, there’s a ‘to’ missing between the and sky. It’s a new one for choir but we sang it well. Possible free for all in the last verse! The instrumental is for filling with oooos etc. Swingtime ready. 

TOGETHER IN ELECTRIC DREAMS is an oldie and another new one for choir. Ed wants more harmonies. There’s a theme for T6 I fear. We sang a Capella. 

Way too many words in WALKING ON SUNSHINE but we will sing them anyways. After singing the previous song this is so obviously up tempo! Jogging on sunshine, more like! 

Ed decided to talk about singing techniques, in different ways for different songs. We have to shift gears and relax the throat to HALLELUJAH. The ending was really worked on to build it. 

RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE burst into life with lots of joyful noises and strong lungs. Whooooo ooooooooh. Etc. 

We finished off with ONE DAY LIKE THIS and stood to enjoy it all the more. 

Then we shifted gears to RUN. Watch those bum notes in the chorus. 

Smashing job DFS, keep it up! All night if you want to. Xxx
