The songs are becoming more familiar, but I am still having a problem with learning the words. When Gary requests that we sing without our books, my mind goes blank and I cant even remember the first word I make frantic signals to my friends to help me out only to find the first word is Oooo or Ah. After the rehearsal I joined the others in the pub for a chat and the general feeling is that singing is good for the soul and we all feel a lot happier for it.  Not long to go now, as it's only 3 weeks on Saturday! |
John led the rehearsal at Jesmond on Saturday. We learnt lots of different things including singing in regional accents, how to do cakewalk style, along with the usual warm up exercises. We heard Kevin sing his solo piece. It must have been very nerve-racking for him, but he was excellent I hope the choir are allowed to give him a standing ovation at the City Hall! After hearing Kevin, I am now looking forward to hearing all of the other soloists and how their songs fit into the programme. Not long to go now, as its only 3 weeks on Saturday oooo or is it ahhhhhh? |
