Rehearsals Over the Summer

Thank you to everyone who has filled in the doodle!

I have decided to rehearse this week (20th) as planned, then to take a break from full rehearsals for the next three weeks. So that’s 27th July, 3rd August and 10th August off!! Here’s hoping for sunshine! This is when most of the choir are away, and hopefully it will allow the musicians to have chance to practise.
We will then start rehearsals back up on the 17th August, and go right through until the gig, so that’s 17th, 24th & 31st of August and 7th Sept. 14th of Sept will be the technical rehearsal, hopefully at St Anne’s Parish Centre.
As you will see, excluding the technical rehearsal, that leaves us one practise before the holiday, three during the holidays when some of the choir will be missing, and one in September with the full choir.
That means it is VITAL that you are working on the tracks in the mean time- don’t just wait until we meet again. I know there are still one or two missing from the website, but get working on the ones that are there and I’ll get the others posted as fast as I can. Usual rules apply, if you need any help PLEASE ask! xxx

Summer News!

Just a quick update!

We’re enjoying taking the A-May-Sing set on its summer tour. So far we’ve taken it to Henshaws, which you can read about here, and Pinfold Primary School’s Summer Fair, where we sang in a field again, although the weather couldn’t have been more different! Pinfold is a really special school, attended by several of the Young Voice singers in ReSound, so it was great to be able to help them with their fundraising. The spectacular sunshine was topped off at the end by a beautiful white dove flying down and landing on the heads of the beloved altos! Rumour has it that it had escaped from a children’s entertainer who was working at the hall on the previous day!

Our next excursion is Charlie Geldart’s christening… we’re singing a few songs at the church, including debuting the song “On this Day” written specially for the occasion. After the service the choir will be performing the A-May-Sing! set at Scarisbrick village hall, and are invited with their families to bring and share food with the family.

Our final outing for the A-May-Sing! set is at Bescar Lane Methodist Church BBQ, by way of thanks to them for the use of their lovely church to practise in. It’s not a fundraiser, just a church social, so it should be a lovely afternoon.

After that we’ll be taking a break from rehearsals over the summer, whilst the choir take their ipods and mp3 players to the nearest beach to practise the set for Sunshine! on 17th September. Rumour has it their may be a new mega mix to rival ‘brella, but you’ll have to watch this space!!
