Come and join the choir for Christmas!

Dear student!

I would like you to join the choir and take part in the Christmas Concert, which will take place on Tuesday, 18^th December at 6.30pm, at St. Lawrence church. If you agree, your commitment will be to attend 3 after school rehearsals:

Thursday 29^th November

Thursday 6^th December

Thursday 13^th December

These will take place in the music room (130) from 3.15 till 4.15.

There will also be a rehearsal during the school day on Tuesday 18^th December: you should go straight to St. Lawrence church at 9.00am. I am also arranging a performance at Sainsbury’s, which will again take place during the school day.

The concert will last about an hour and a half. As well as singing some traditional carols we will be singing “The Power of Love” (as in the John Lewis advert), “Goodnight” by the Beatles and anything else people suggest!

I hope you will consider joining the choir. It has the following advantages:

·         Gaining confidence in singing and in general

·         Learning more about singing techniques and reading music

·         Enjoyment through the “buzz” that live performance can give

·         Feeling that you are taking part in school life and promoting the school in a positive way

You won’t have to audition, it doesn’t matter how good or bad you are at singing. You won’t have to sing a solo (unless you want to). It’s non-stop fun so I hope to see you soon!

Orchestra Rehearsals

Rehearsals for the Christmas Concert are as follows:

Monday 26^th November

Monday 3^rd December

Monday 10^th December

Monday 17^th December                               

All these rehearsals will be from 3.15 to 4.15 in the music room

Tuesday 18^th December from 9.00 till 12.00 – go directly to St. Lawrence church

The performance will be on Tuesday 18^th December at St. Lawrence church, from 6.30 till 7.30

We may be asked to do other Christmas performances – Horton Lodge, Sainsburys etc – I will let you know when I know!

If you would like to do a solo item (or duet/small group) for the Christmas concert, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your help

We Will Rock You

Ukulele Christmas book

We will be starting with songs from here:

Ukulele Orchestra

Once We Will Rock You is over I need to get a Ukulele orchestra up and running, ready to perform in the Carol Service. It will run on Monday and Tuesday lunchtimes. Don't worry if you can't make every rehearsal because of sporting events etc, just get a copy of the music and practise at home

We Will Rock You

Tickets are now on sale for this great show. The dates are 21st - 23rd November at 7.00pm. The last time we did this show it was astounding. This time it promises to be even better - the standards achieved by those playing principal roles, the quality of the chorus singing, the dancing, the band - all are amazing. You'd be mad to miss it! so don't!
