Dear Sing! choir,
This week we will be meeting in the Recital Room at Hills Rd 6th Form College on Thursday 21st November from 7:30-9:15 as usual. We will be recapping Winter Song and finishing off learning Let It Snow and Miss Fogarty's Christmas Cake. The part tracks for Miss Fogarty's Christmas Cake are now on the drive so please listen to them and practise. This means that all tracks for all songs are now available and with less than a month to go before our concert on 14th December, we would urge you to start refreshing your memories with all songs so that we don't leave all the learning to the last minute.
This week, it will be the Altos turn to bring snacks.
Concert Sign Up Sheet
There are 2 tabs on the sheet. Please look at both! We need everybody to put their name down for the programme please. But we also need lots of volunteers for a range of jobs on the day and afterwards, for example serving refreshments (non-choir members) and helping with staging, as well as things like video editing.
Message from Emma: Gift for Bethany and her baby
As I mentioned at rehearsal last week, I’ve started a collection pot for any choir members who would like to contribute to a gift for Bethany, who has just had her baby!
There's absolutely no expectation to take part, but if you would like to, please click the link below. It will be a cash gift from us to her with the idea being that the money can be spent on whatever she needs. Of course, if you would rather give her something separate that’s absolutely fine too. (I know some choir members have already given her gifts so please don't feel you have to contribute again!)
Any money is very welcome so please click the link to give what you can. You can leave a message there as well.
NB Just to let you know collection pot.com will ask you to top up your donation as an admin fee but you only need to do this by about 40p for every £10 so don’t be tricked into giving more than that with their tricksy suggested donations. I can always top up the donations as extra for the admin fee if needed.
I thought this would be easier than using private bank accounts, and when the collection closes on the **last day of November**, the money will be transferred over.
If the idea of navigating this website is too unwieldy, you’re very welcome to give cash in person as an alternative, which I’ll transfer over.
Thank you, everybody!
Emma Hatton
That's all for this week, see you on Thursday!
Love, the Sing! team.
