NOTICE 

A few members have reported testing positive today, and as not everyone is on Facebook I’m sharing here too.

Please also note that there will be no choir practice this week, to keep everyone as safe as we can. 

Lots of love, Cat x

EDIT 

Ed posted a reminder on the Facebook today. 

“ Dorset for Singing Friends! Just a reminder that we have regretfully had to cancel choir rehearsals this week due to several members testing positive for Covid. We are still aiming to hold our Easter Concert at St. Aldhelm's on Thursday, 7th April at 7pm but this will require a negative LFT test beforehand, if we can go ahead. If you know of anyone in either Weymouth or Dorchester choir that may not have received this message, please let them know. There are no more rehearsals planned until Wed 27th and Thursday 28th April. Thank you for all your support and understanding.”

Stay safe everyone x

23 September 2021

Back! Back we were. Even if no one sat near me, it was so good to be back. The piano was a little wobbly and we had to do a quick google to find out how to transpose. Perhaps Ed was a little wobbly too. 

Ed welcomed everyone and reminded everyone that we already have a concert booked on the 31 October which will feature a brand new wartime medley. It will be for the festival of remembrance. 

We were going to be singing old songs and new songs again tonight marking the end of the odd ‘nearly two years’ and kicked off with a Dum Dum Diddle together. Yes! 

The first song in our concert will be Make You Feel My Love and we were off singing a real propper song! Considering we had not sung for a long time, well together, it sounded pretty nice and Ed just had to revise timings with us. It was so lovely singing that I was tempted to forget to blog. But then where would we be? Dorchester probably read this to see if we were as good as them, for starters. 

This will be our opening number … we stood to perform. And Ed said that it was good. 

Wartime Medley was our next piece of fun, for me it was the rats but for some of the guys it might have been the marvellous harmony part. And Ed said it could have been worse. We stood to perform!

Homework may have been to listen to I Still Have Faith In You but it was very new to many so Jack looked out a lyric video for us. 

We had a stab at the beginning with Ed at the piano, held back by Jenny’s handbag. The piano I mean, not Ed. 

Next up was If You Could Read My Mind familiar to many of DFS. We ran through that and the first verse of First Time and ran out of time. 

Wow DFS, didn’t we do well? I loved it. Keep singing and definitely keep smiling, Love, The Blogger x
