COULD EVERYONE WHO HAS A COPY OF CAROLS FOR CHOIRS 1 (GREEN ONE) PLEASE BRING IT ON TUESDAY? For those singing on Thursday – might we please stay on for 10 minutes after 9.30 on Tuesday to go over logistics?
Thursday Dec 8:
For those who can make it we will be rehearsing with the children at 10am in CC. I expect it to take no more than an hour. Please do be there if you possibly can.
Doors open 7pm. Please be there no later than 7.15. We take our seats at 7.25. The concert starts at 7.30. It will last 2 hours.
Singers:
Could you please liaise with your section to confirm who is going to be there so that we have a final count for each part?

Music to have with you:
The three carols from our Dec 17 program plus Carols for Choirs book 1. If you have the loose sheets it in a black folder so much the better, the books I think we just hold as books.
Seating:
We will be in the choir stalls when not singing. For everything except While Shepherds we will come out on to the dais (where we normally stand) to sing, so getting in and out with minimum fuss is important. If you arrive late, hang around to the side of the dais until we are next on stage and surreptiously join from the side then.
Dress:
Same as for our concert, black with red/green if you wish
Grandees:
The names on the programme, who may mean something to you, are: Adrian Mills, Jacki Piper, James Middlehurst, Weng Soon Tee and Tey Kamal.
