Welcome to 2015 with Choirbolical. An exciting year is planned but firstly some house-keeping about using our website.

Choir members are encouraged to Register. As a registered member you will have access to the Repertoire page where you can find printable music and sound recordings. This is set as a private page available to logged in registered members only.

The Register link is located under the Login button on the home page. When going through the initial registration process check your spam if you do not get a confirmation email with an initial password.

If you are a Registered user you will:

1. automatically get emailed notifications when new posts are made to the Home page;

2. access the Repertoire page – but remember you must use your login details to see the Repertoire page or you will get an error message.

Any difficulties with accessing the webpages – please see me at our first rehearsal on Feb 3rd.  cheers, Marion

Hi Choirbolical!

Happy 2014!

I have put up some repertoire for you to print out for our first rehearsal on Tuesday Feb 4. Head over to the repertoire tab on the website – if you click on the titles of the first four pieces, that should open up the corresponding pdf files.

Thanks!
Astrid
P.s. Here’s a pic of me with the northern lights at New Years! Wahoo!
