Looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it to sing around town & to have a chat /lunch after. Natalie has the list of songs under Repertoire and practice tracks (including a new Astrid song) to encourage a little practicing beforehand. Haven’t been for a while – bring your music & come along anyway and join in where you can, or be an appreciative audience!!

Itinerary:

Meet: Kwong Sang Walk – between Annand St and Ruthven St. Get a coffee beforehand – plenty of choices nearby.

Parking: suggest either of the council car parks in Neil St – free on Sunday

Sing and Walk will include: Kwong Sang / Art Gallery Park / Ground Up Cafe / Elephant Mural / Walton’s Stores where we will finish.

Time to get singing again – holidays, Easter and eating of chocolate is over, so bring your good selves and your music to a rehearsal on Tuesday. 6.45pm for 7pm start. Details of our pop up singing next Sunday at 10am will be announced at the rehearsal and posted after 🙂

A reminder that a choir rehearsal is coming up this Tuesday 4th April – 6.45pm for 7pm start. Don’t forget to sign the register as you come through the door (keeping a register of attendance is a requirement of DeMolay Hall).
