Dear member,
I am testing Mailchimp as the service to send out the new post notifications from our website. You may get this email twice as I have not deactivated the wordpress email system until I make sure Mailchimp has solved this problem.
Our next rehearsal is tomorrow 1st May arrive about 6:45 ready to start at 7pm De Molay House.
Please let me know if you are having any problems with the website.
Warm regards,
Lesley
Hi everybody,
Firstly – there has been a change of plans and Blank Space in Toowoomba is pre-selling tickets to the Toowoomba Pub Choir on May 4th. You can get them here:

Secondly – I have some rehearsal tracks for Weather With You. This is the only song I have rehearsal tracks for leading up to the Jazz Club performance, but hopefully they can help. Access the tracks by clicking this link:

Rehearsal this Tuesday 17th April 6:30 for a photo opportunity. Our photo to be included in Arts Worx’ “additions” listing, I have asked Nev (Madsen) if he could take a fresh, fun choir photo.
Another do-it-ourselves practice tomorrow – Tuesday. 7pm @deMolay House.
It was a great practice last week. Thankyou to CUA for the space and a big thankyou to Melinda last Tuesday for patiently playing parts of The Weather With You, for us to record. (I haven’t yet worked out how to load these files ).
To assist learning parts and the words without music try an internet (YouTube)search for the following.
Fields of Gold – Albright Concert Choir
Route 66 – Manhattan Transfer 2008
Hope everyone has had an enjoyable Easter break. See you Tuesday. Marion
There will be two opportunities for Do-it-ourselves practices to learn notes and words over the next two Tuesdays for the following music:
This Tuesday 27th March 6.00pm to 7.30pm @ CUA crn Ruthven St & Waltons Stores Lane
Next Tuesday 3rd April usual time 7.00pm to 8.30pm @ deMolay.
We hope to give people a chance to record their parts so bring your phone or recording device if you wish.
See you there.
P.s. Congratulations to Astrid with the excellent review of ‘Your the Voice’ pubchoir in The Australian on the weekend. And don’t forget Pubchoir is coming to Toowoomba 4th May so start inviting everyone you know!
Tomorrow is our next rehearsal at De Molay House 6:45pm for a 7pm start.
We will be preparing for the Jazz Club performance – Sting Stevie Wonder, Route 66 and Crowded House.
Marion is suggesting another rehearsal Tuesday week as well to ensure we are well rehearsed.
Warm regards,
Lesley
Just a reminder there is a rehearsal tomorrow, 20th Feb.
We have a venue for a Spring Sing here in Toowoomba at the USQ theatre. Anyone interested in stepping forward to form a committee to run through Pam Wilson’s list of things to do – which has been tested and proven!! There will be time after the rehearsal to find out what is involved. Many hands make light work – and a lovely way to get to know people better.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.
Warm regards, Lesley
Hope this gets to Alison Phillips.
Cheers Lesley
Have you invited any friends to our singing workshop this Saturday 10th Feb 8:30 to 1:30 at De Molay House?
Ready to sing tomorrow? the first Tuesday of the month. Ready for 7pm at De Molay House.
If anyone needs a copy of the music I have printed an extra copy.
Best wishes,

Dear all,
Happy New Year!
I have just uploaded 4 pieces for our first rehearsal on Tuesday evening. Perhaps a few of you could print the odd spare copy for those without website access.
See you next week!
