Dear All
What a fantastic rehearsal on Tuesday! It was really good to hear everyone singing so solidly after the break.
Recap of what we covered below including some reminders of the fine tuning Penny was pointing out.
There will be two audition dates for the new MD on Tues 10th & 17th June. I hope as many of you can attend as possible.
We are also hoping to find a new date for the choir karaoke social – look out for a separate post about that.
& don’t forget subs!
