[Sing! Rehearsals] Rehearsal this week

by
Dear Sing!ers, 

We will be meeting as usual this Thursday 10th October in the Recital Room at Hills Rd 6th Form college from 7:30 – 9:15. There are still no updates on the QR code situation so continue as normal with entering the site please. We will start by recapping Don't Stop Me Now, and then we will finish learning both Livin' on a Prayer and Hallelujah for Today. 
Here is the link again if you are still having trouble receiving the links at the end of the email – do check your attachments as well please: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q95xCYf1eP66Eev6P65ii-zE6HcO8I58?usp=sharing'
We currently have the rather wonderful situation of a backlog of biscuits, so no more snacks this week please! We will use up what we already have first. 

1. Call for cabaret acts for concert on Saturday 14th Dec!


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. Usually we have space for all offers, but occasionally we have to be selective. So, if you’re interested in offering a cabaret act, please email musicteam@singcommunitychoir.co.uk by end of Sunday 20th October, letting us know what song you’d like to do and roughly how many people will be involved. 

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 good standard in the time you have available. We’ll be in touch after the deadline to confirm which acts will be in the concert!


2. Solos


Thanks to everyone who has put themselves forward for a solo – we will be in touch with you soon. We are still looking for an alto or soprano to sing the solo in Never Gonna Not Dance Again, so do get in touch if you're interested in that one.
