A gentle reminder of our next rehearsal: Tuesday 16 May, 6:45 for a prompt 7:00 start.
Demolay House 90 Margaret Street, opposite Queen’s Park.
With all the extra practice we should be sounding much better!
Thank you Marion & Andrew for the effort to get in some extra time.
Cheers,
Rebecca
Dear Singers,
As our first public performance approaches, I am proposing the following list of repertoire to prepare for May 20th:
1. E Malama
2. E’we Thina
3. Heyr Himna Smidur
4. Riu Riu Chiu
5. They’re Red Hot
6. I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free
7. Mother Earth
We will move between pop-up locations, and sing 2 or 3 at each spot.
Please continue learning and listening to “Father, Father”, and “Sing Me To Heaven”, but we might give them a little more time to cook before May 20th.
Happy practicing!
Astrid

Need some extra practice? There are 2 practices on offer:
Tuesday 9th May 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) VOCE folks please come at 6:00pm to have a quick meeting! There are some rather pressing decisions to make regarding: Chrissey Martin’s performance request, learning “You’re the Voice”, Bon Amici or Park House for last performance before Hobart, Marion’s proposal for the Jazz club, Kent’s request from Elaine Coates group.
AND
Thursday 11th May 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.
Cheers, Marion & Rebecca (and others)

Listen smith of heavens
whom the poet bids
May mercy softly come to me
So I call on thee
for you created me
I am they slave
you are my Lord
God, I call on thee
to heal me
Remember me, mild one
we need thee
Drive out, O king
generous and great
every human sorrow
from the heart
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
A number of events are in the planning for Choirbolical this year. Scroll down to see VOCE minutes if you wish. Please note the May Date claimer:
The next performance planned is a PopUp performance as part of the First Coat Festival. Saturday May 20th – meeting first on lawn in front of Empire Theatre at 9 am for performances 9.30 – 11.30 am to be followed by a shared lunch in a park.
Bless her heart, Pam reminded me to share that all Choirbolical members (and prospective members too) are invited to get together at Park House at 6:00pm for some fun social time before rehearsal.
May see you there!
Cheers,
Rebecca

I hope we can impress Astrid with how much we gained from her posting our parts on the website to practice at home.
See you on Tuesday!
