What a glorious evening. Well done for producing another fabulous performance which had some amazing moments. I thought you all looked very relaxed but your attention to me was spot on. Winsome texted earlier in the day to explain that she was ill and unable to sing with us and how disappointed she was. She said she thought the choir was "the best it's ever been" which I take as very high praise. Your hard work certainly paid off and moving from a freezing drafty church to the exotic temperatures of the URC certainly tested out our own thermostats!
Thank you to the committee for setting up the venue, all soloists for putting themselves forward and giving up time to rehearse, Pauline for manning the door, collecting the money (!), the basses for having to wear tight trousers in order to sing all the opening tenor lines plus all of you that helped clear away at the end.
Pauline has just messaged to say the retiring collection was £541.20 (and 2 dog biscuits!!) - The Dementia cafe will certainly benefit from that.
The New Buckenham church haven't finalised numbers yet but I believe they made over £600 but will need to take out expenses. I'll let you know the final numbers when I have them.
So, a very good Easter session, thank you.
I'll now start panicking about 4 weeks to get our show pieces up to standard!
We're going to hit the ground running on Wednesday 23rd
(remember that we DO NOT MEET THIS WEEK!!!!!).
I'll put some links on here in a few days time for you to start acquainting yourself with the pieces.
Happy Easter everyone xx
