Hi everyone,

Noel has written a beautiful song and will perform at Tuesday’s concert. The suggestion is for VoiceMale and other Choirbolical men who wish to join him come forward to sing and the rest of the choir stay at the sides to join in the chorus. I’m very sorry but I cannot load the audio file but below are the lyrics. If you can come by 6.30pm there may be an opportunity to run through the song before the concert begins.

The Last Bird of all.???????Noel Keller

VERSE 1:?When the last bird falls down from the sky

(Noel)??When the last dream awakes, wondering why

When the last tear forever runs dry

When the last bird of all gives a call and falls down from the sky?

CHORUS:?We are playing with fire and ice 

(All)??Rolling the dice ?

We think it’s a game

That we get to play twice ?

We think it’s a hoax?

And we think it’s a lie?

We think it’s a problem for somebody else ?

And that’s our alibi -bi- bi.

VERSE 2:?When the last bird falls down from the sky

(Noel)??When the last summer breeze whispers“Goodbye”

When the last prayer forgets how to cry  

When the last bird of all gives a call and falls down from the sky

CHORUS:?ALL  ( building up ….   )

VERSE 1:?ALL  ( still and quiet; unaccompanied )

All welcome to join us on Tuesday for our end of year concert. Details in the flyer.

• Cakes/slices, some gluten free, cut ready to serve, labelled, brought to the hall early, given to Rebecca, Charlotte or Rineke in the back room near the kitchen or  the front room we used last year.

We have had a great year of singing! Including the LAST BIG SING ever – a surprise announcement on Sunday. Our Last Rose was a finely sung fitting moment. And Hallo -got a big YES from Astrid.

At 7.45pm we will wander over to the Parkhouse for a little celebration of the year singing with Astrid and Matt. Platters provided. Buy your own drinks. Partners most welcome (we ask for a $10 donation from partners) we will get numbers at the start of the rehearsal but have booked for 40- so come along one and all.

See you at the Big Sing this Sunday 27th October. Details are on the previous website Post.

Please note we will register Choirbolical numbers after the rehearsal on the 15th October. Choirbolical members are also welcome to decide to come on the day. See flyer for payment details- pay at the door or in advance.

The next rehearsal is Tuesday 15th Oct – 6.45pm for a 7pm start.

Please note our next performance is the BIG SING in Brisbane on Sunday 27th October. This is a full day workshop and Choirbolical will perform at the concert to follow. We need to forward our expected numbers of people attending ASAP. Please see flyer for more info and related sheets at this week’s rehearsal. If you are unable to attend this rehearsal but intend coming to the BiG SING please rely to this post or contact us.

Don’t forget raffle tickets for our Concert night will be available at rehearsals to sell to family and friends ahead of time.
