Dear all Many thanks to those who have attended the first 3 rehearsals and apologies for not sending out a note after each one. We’ve made a great start to the year with some music that is really fun to sing! Rather than go over what we looked at in each rehearsal I thought I’d just give a quick overview…… Read more →

Dear all Many thanks to those present at tonight’s rehearsal. Unfortunately I feel I must plea again for everyone to come to rehearsals if at all possible. We now only have 2 left before we perform in front of an audience and we are far from ready – if the number of people absent from rehearsals remains as it has…… Read more →

Dear all Many thanks to those present for a fantastic rehearsal tonight! We achieved a huge amount, including note-bashing through the final 2 pieces for the concert. My now-usual please for everyone to prioritise attending the remaining rehearsals – we don’t have any more time for note-bashing as we really need to start tidying the pieces for performance now, so…… Read more →

As last week, can I please urge you all to come to as many of…… Read more →

Dear all Many thanks to those who braved the chilly autumn night to come to rehearsal this evening. We achieved a heck of a lot, but by my count we now only have 5 rehearsal left before the planned concert – it is really important that everyone comes to all rehearsals from now on. If we only have ¾ of…… Read more →
