Hi all,

For those coming along to the Big Sing on Sunday, here is a recording of the piano accompaniment for Home and the Heartland. Hope it might help some of you to practice at home.

Big Sing is coming up this Sunday 29th Oct –  8.30am reg. /from 9am  two workshops, James Cuskelly and Megan Flint /2.30pm Concert.  $20 adult/ $10 concession

We are singing 2 songs – People Get Ready and Home and the Heartland. Both are almost there but not quite so we are having a words and music do it ourselves practice on Tuesday (tomorrow- 24th) so that we are ready for Astrid to weave some magic on Sunday.

Don’t worry if you haven’t been for a while – the Big Sing day will be great.

Performance Attire – black pants/ dress / skirts with some colour E.g. shirt / earrings / scarf etc

Music – of course we perform better without it but we have purchased some black folders if you need to use one.

Car pooling – tomorrow night we will sort out lifts to St Aidan’s School Corinda Bris for folk looking for one.

See you there.

Looking forward to rehearsing tomorrow 17th Oct 2017.
