Also note that the VOCE minutes from this week are on the website to view. Points to note: extra REHEARSAL on the 27th June will be a  CONCERT for friends and family held  at the Credit Union Community Space down the lane from Walton’s Stores, so start inviting folk to come and hear us before some of us head off to Festival of Voices Hobart.. The Hobart schedule is also attached to the VOCE minutes for your interest.

This Tuesday –  6th June will be our regular first Tuesday rehearsal with Astrid. 6.45 for 7pm start

Don’t forget to check out the lyrics and music of George Michael’s Freedom

Please note – the proposed performance on Thursday 8th at the community hub space opening has been cancelled.

See you Tuesday night.

This Tuesday – 30th May is a 5th Tuesday so we will have  a rehearsal this coming Tuesday night 6.45 for a 7pm start. There will  also be a rehearsal on the following week (1st Tuesday)

Happy singing,

Marion

A reminder to those planning to attend Festival of Voices that your payment of $99 is now overdue. Please pay into Choirbolical account including your name (BSB details under Fees tab).  Catherine will be making the bulk choir payment to FOV, as requested, no later than 30th May. We can only forward the numbers and names of participants from our choir if you have paid up. Let us know if there are any problems asap. Cheers Marion

This Saturday  20th May.

Meet: 9am at the Empire theatre for a warm up. (We hadn’t anticipated new markets to be nearby so think about parking).

Wear: Bright colours.

Singing: we will have a walk and sing at suitable spots around the city centre – depending on weather and other art events. See the list of songs in Astrid’s post below.

Finish and Lunch:  finish around 11-11.30am  followed by a lunch and some staged filming (this was to be at Japanese gardens usq with a picnic – but weather is not looking good  so we will see what film director Chris suggests on the day)

Hope this works!  If not google Moira Smiley – They’re Red Hot.

Good luck with actions – follow the sets of 8 – 2 sets of 7 actions plus a rest. See instructions on your music.

Need some extra practice?  There are 2 practices on offer:

Tuesday 9th at 7pm –  Andrew & Marion’s place crn Herbert and Kitchener – women may go next door to Ritamay’s if we have a big roll up. (Hall not available)

Thursday 11th at 7.15pm at deMolay (available)

These will be ‘do-it-ourselves’ practices of parts and a chance to be ready to impress Astrid the following Tuesday!!!

Hope to see you at one or both.  In the meantime we have some words to learn and great practice tracks under repertoire.

If you were thinking of stopping by PARK HOUSE cafe before choir – sorry, it has a closed function on Tuesday night so will not be open for us this week. Bring your own coffee or have a tea/coffee/cake at deMolay instead from 6pm.

cheers, Marion
