New Year New Start

The new year is a good time to review what we want to achieve for the coming year and so part of our practice session each week is being set aside to discuss ideas and make future plans.  Hopefully we can reach a consensus of opinion in the next few weeks and reach agreements that will carry us through the year thus reducing the need for too much discussion in our future practice sessions.  Well that's the aim anyway, as what we really want to do is sing and it eats into our singing time if we spend too much time chatting. 

Janina will be taking over as our accompanist soon to and in the meantime we have Rowena helping us out. We are free of any outside commitments until April when we enter the music festival again.  Two songs we have chosen for one class need just a few tweaks here and there and we are good to go, the other two have yet to be decided from our repertoire. 

There may be an exciting opportunity coming up but more of that later........

Happy New Year

Wow just checked the blog after a long gap and realised my last post was New Year 2015!  How time flies.  We had a busy December as usual with our regulars requesting that we perform at their Christmas functions and we even have two performances coming up in January which is quite unusual for us.  We are singing for the Ackworth 74 Club at the Kings Croft Hotel and they have requested a spot of audience participation which is new for our group.  However we will rise to the challenge and enjoy the experience.  Another spot we are doing is for a local care home who we lost touch with until they found us again and we enjoy singing in that venue.  We will be singing unaccompanied at this one (which is probably good as the space is limited, so no need to cram the keyboard in)  and will have to choose our repertoire accordingly.  However we do have some new rounds and of course some old favourites to sing too. It's good to be blogging again and happy new year to everyone out there.
