WEEK 45 – not 43 You all failed the test!

Hi All
Apologies I forgot to look at my Birthday list and missed Sandra’s Birthday which is on Monday 25th January so she has a whole page to herself. As you can see Sandra was always a star in out Pantomimes these are just some of the roles she took. You never know you may see her performing on a television near you soon??? Sandra has been in the Choir forever she did have a break for a while but missed us so much I was very pleased when she came back. We hope you have a wonderful Day Sandra.

HIM and ME – The Tracy & Hepburn story

25 – 31 January 2021

“I have loved and been in love. There is a big difference.” – Katharine Hepburn 

A new play in two acts by Charly Armstrong & Dan Scott

He was elusive. She was unconventional. Together they formed an on-screen partnership that captivated movie-goers for more than twenty five years. But what audiences didn’t know is that all of it was real.

One of Hollywood’s best kept open-secrets, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn were an unlikely pairing. Though their relationship was fraught with difficulties, they remained devoted to one another all their lives.

Hepburn was fiercely independent, Tracy was married. But, then again, in the golden age of Hollywood: romance was never like the movies.

LIVE STREAM

11th – 17th January 2021

Up Pompeii
High jinks and slap and tickle in the ancient Roman town of Pompeii

A stage version of the classic television series originally starring the inimitable Frankie Howerd as the much put-upon slave Lurcio. As Lurcio attempts to deliver his prologue and begin the proceedings, he’s quickly caught up in the myriad of sexual liaisons in his master’s house. Whilst growing chaos ensues, an increasing rumbling is heard in the distance – what could that possibly be? A riot from start to finish.

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE
When we are allowed to have live performances in our auditoria we want you to feel as safe as possible.
Titchfield Festival Theatre has purchased an ozone generator – normally used in hospitals – which will thoroughly cleanse the theatre (stage, auditoria, public areas and backstage) of any viruses or potential infection , following each performance. TFT has also introduced socially distanced seating in our auditoria and bars and public areas. Hand sanitising stations will also be available throughout the venues and a thermal check as you enter the theatre. Increased deep cleaning and treated door handles and push plates increase protection for all our patrons against flu, covid and other germs and viruses. Our bars are also now allowed to open under the latest government guidelines. Socially distanced queueing in the bar to collect drinks of all sorts without having to purchase a ‘substantial meal or a SCOTCH EGG’. All drinks must be consumed at your seats within the auditoria.

Hi Everyone

We have two birthdays this week.  Jane Courtenay has a birthday on Thursday 7th January.  Jane is a Soprano and joined the choir when Mariane became MD which I believe was in 2005.  The photograph is at her daughters wedding which we had the privilege of singing at.  I don’t know why but Jane didn’t sing with us on that occasion.

Hope you have a nice day tomorrow and if you join us we will definitely sing 🎶 Happy Birthday To You 🎶.  Obviously the highlight of everyones birthday!

Sarah Turl, also a Soprano has a birthday on Sunday 10th January.  Sarah is one of our Committee Members and apart from many other things does an amazing job of publicity for NMM.  The photograph was taken last February with her husband Simon at our Golden Dinner.

Hope your lovely family make sure you have a wonderful Day.

Our two lovely ladies singing at Asda with a little help from their friends, sadly not taken this Christmas.

BACK TO REHEARSING

Unfortunately Lillian will be unable to join us this week, she is currently in the hospital with her youngest son Augustine as he had to have an operation yesterday.  The operation went smoothly and he is recovering in hospital for the next few days.  She asked me to send a ‘Hello’ to everyone.  I am sure we all wish him a speedy recovery and send love to the family.

Chris is going to take the rehearsal  and we will be singing some of the songs from the Concert that never was, but will be one day, and also some from our music that we all hold from the library for a bit of variety.
Plan for Thursday evening will be:
Warm ups
Joseph Medley: Song of the King and Close Every Door to Me
Pick a Bale of Cotton

2 lots of Break Out Rooms for a catch up as we haven’t seen each other for sooo long.

They are bringing back the 8pm applause in our 3rd lockdown for carers, teachers, homeschooling parents and ALL who are pushing us through this difficult time and hope it can lift the spirit of us all.

Happy Happy Happy Birthdays

Hi All
We have two birthdays before next Thursday I bet you both thought I had forgotten you.
It is Terry Harland’s Birthday on the 3rd January. Terry is a Tenor and joined the choir in May 2017. I spent a long time looking for a photograph of Terry but he always seemed to be hiding behind someone.
{CAPTION}

I hope you have a great day Terry.
And on the 5th January it is Eric Gerrey’s Birthday. Eric is a Bass and joined with his lovely wife just before Terry in April 2017. The picture is of Eric doing his DJ in his DJ at the Golden Dinner last year.

Keep those tunes coming Eric have a great day.

Week 42 HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE

Hi All
{CAPTION}

Happy New Years Eve Wishing Everyone Good Health and Happiness in 2021
Despite not being able to meet together for 42 weeks, thankfully we have been able to still keep in touch and have fun together when we were introduced to Zoom. Unsure of how things were going we did quizzes and games and we quickly found that singing together although fun was as somebody put it “horrendous”.
We had a “Summer Concert Revisited” in June on what would have been our Concert Day, made up of songs from past concerts of some of the songs we would have been singing at our Golden Concert.
We got back to rehearsing some of our Concert Songs and thanks to Lillian and Chris we made our first virtual youtube recording of ‘All I Ask Of You’ in August which was then followed by “You Raise Me Up’ in October.
For something completely different we watched one of New Music Makers pantomimes from 2007 ‘Pirates of Christmas Island” in early December. We watched it together on Zoom some dressed as pirates with others in the christmas spirit, literally! It was sent out to past members and cast members.
On a roll from the virtual songs, Lillian put forward the idea of a Virtual Christmas Concert which we premiered whilst again watching on Zoom on the 17th December. This has now had 598 views. Lillian then put out a carol each day to the run up of Christmas which between the five songs there have been well over 1000 hits. Thank you Lillian for all of your hard work putting all of this together. We are such a lucky choir having Lillian and Chris on our team.
Who knows what next year will bring but I would like to thank all of the choir members for your continued support and hopefully it will not be too long before we can join together and sing – together. {CAPTION}
