Hi All
Most importantly remember we are at KCC tonight and if you can get there for 7.15 pm so that we can sort out seating. I do apologies if we have to mix people up a bit we can only work with what we have got on the stage. We will not have the extra podium tonight but we will have it Saturday. We will do our best.
Just a reminder what Chris said about this evening at KCC
On another note for Thursdays rehearsal at KCC we are rehearsing in the ‘Cedar Hall’ where our concert will be on Saturday. Make sure you come in through the left hand main doors into the older building and through the cafe into the hall, rather than the main doors on the right that lead into our auditorium. There’s a big ceremony inaugurating the new Eastleigh mayor in there at the same time as our rehearsal … you’ll soon realise you are in the wrong place!
Attached is a running order for the programme with notes saying who is compering there is quite a lot of talking with images as it is a significant Concert we are talking about the history of the choir over the last 50 + 2 years.
Because of this there will be places to sit and stand, Chris Allison will be telling us when to sit and stand.
We are very mindful of time as we are having the reception afterwards so we need to be ready to go on and sing starting on time and also only have 20 min break all of this is more important in the afternoon as we have the reception in between the concerts.
Can we try and keep a bit of a surprise on the gold tops if you need to go anywhere either change or cover up with something.
Men I will be giving the gold bow ties out this evening can you put them on when you get into the changing rooms. Just a note on the bow ties. When you take them off can you do the Velcro up as it does ruin the ties if it attaches itself to the tie.
Uniform
Ladies.
Plain Black suit type trousers with black closed in shoes, preferably not too high as you may obscure someone’s vision, and black tights, popsocks. Gold tops. It is thought that no necklace is necessary but you can wear gold/black earrings. And perhaps we will have a vote on bracelets. We probably wont need them but black jackets, cardigans.
Men
Please bring your dinner suits but again probably wont need the jacket, but remember it is black shirts. Gold Bow ties. Black shoes and socks.
As we know we are not going to use the folders for definitely.
Gold
You Raise Me Up
Sweet Caroline
The ones that we are using files for are
Les Mis Medley – )although you should know Bring Him Home and Do You Hear)
Joseph
Skyfall
One Moment In Time
Why We Sing
The rest of them it would be nice if those who have been in the choir a while could do without them. Give it a try tonight you may surprise yourself. There will be clear indication by the compère what song will be coming next.
We will practise tonight how we are going to sit, stand and use the new folders.
There is a white sticker on the back of the folder can you please remove it.
ZOOMERS
We will try our best tonight to get zoom going and for the Concerts. I would think to log in 30 min before rehearsal or performance.
Please make sure you are muted during the performances.
LILLIAN
There is a card for Lillian also it might be nice to send her some flowers if anyone would like to contribute there will be something to put some money in with the card to be signed.
There will be drinks available to purchase between the performances when we have our fish and chips. Hopefully everyone has ordered their fish and chips by now. I am trying to arrange so that we can pre order a drink in the interval, I will hopefully know something tonight.
RAFFLE PRIZES
Thank you everyone who has donated Raffle Prizes so far. If you still have something to donate then please bring tonight, it just confuses things if they are brought on the day.
TICKETS
Eric will have the tickets and his blipper to pay by card if people would like to purchase tickets tonight.
