Blog number 496. I still haven’t found my folder. Ed changed his battery. It was charity choosing night. Dorchester are supporting Weldmar this year.
Nominations were made, to be voted for at the back, after choir. We warmed up, singing WITH OR WITHOUT YOU to hums, oooohs and aaaaaaahs. Then we sang it with the backing track and Ed belting it out too.
We were under singing. We were asked for 400% more. So we gave. And we gave. Lovely.
Time for the JERSEY BOYS MEDLEY which has a lot of words. We slowed it down a little to help us squeeze in a few more in the right place. Dangerous really, coz we had to speed it up again immediately!
Gently into ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE. Clever chord at the end there. We went over the key change.
Ed said we should TAKE ON ME so we did. Look out for the organic ending. It might mean we have to be flexible but not that the words are wrong. We worked on it around the men’s parts until we had made an ending all our own.
All choir masters A LITTLE RESPECT. Near the end we are going to have a lovely overlap/cossover with stage left holding into MEEEEEEEE.
We stood to perform HIGHER AND HIGHER and had to deal with a technical hitch again no lyrics instead of no batteries.
Well done DFS another fun filled session, I wonder who will win the position of this years charity? Vote now and goodnight xxx
