[Sing! Rehearsals] No Rehearsal – please practise!

by
Dear Sing!ers, 
We will not be meeting this week but that means this is a great chance to catch up on learning all the songs from the term so far using our fantastic recorded part tracks which you will find a link for below!
Please practise!
The half-term break is the perfect time to listen to the brilliant resources in the Drive and remind yourself of all this term's songs! 😃 

After the break, we'll be bringing back songs every week that we learnt earlier this term. The purpose of giving songs this extra time is to refine them so they're the best they can be when it comes to the concert! But this only works if we all refresh our memories of our parts before each rehearsal. Otherwise we spend the rehearsal time just working our way back to where we were the last time we rehearsed the song, instead of making it better. So for the next half term, please check the weekly email to find out the songs for that week and practise your part in advance, so that we can spend rehearsals doing the fun stuff!!

Call for cabaret acts for concert on Sunday 13th July!

As usual, we'd like our concert to include a few 'cabaret' pieces – these are songs performed as a solo, duet or small group, rather than by the whole choir. They provide variety in the concert programme and give a chance for smaller groups to showcase their talent!  

We can only fit a certain number of these in each concert. Often we have space for all offers, but sometimes we have too many suggestions and have to be selective. So, if you’re interested in offering a cabaret act, please email musicteam@singcommunitychoir.co.uk by Friday 6th June, letting us know:

  • What song you’d like to do
  • Roughly how many people would be involved, and whether you already have people signed up or would need to recruit them
  • A quick description of the arrangement you want to do e.g. mood, accompanied/a cappella etc

If you need to recruit other singers, please make an initial effort to do this before putting your idea forward (e.g. chat to others at rehearsals or post in our Facebook group). Also do think about what will be realistic to get together to a performance standard in the time you have available. We’ll be in touch after the deadline to confirm which acts will be in the concert.


Looking forward to seeing you again next week!

Love,
