Summer Spectacular 23rd July 2022
Hi All
Chris has been looking through songs to sing at the Summer Spectacular and has sent this list of potential ones. We actually only have seven rehearsals until the Concert so we do not want to have to do too many new ones.
It would be really nice to have some solos and then we could reduce the amount of songs that the choir have to do. Don’t be shy, you know you want to do it, let Chris know if you are interested and what you would like to sing, we do tend to stick to show songs for this concert but it is not obligatory.

Letter from Chris.
Hello everyone,Well done in our rehearsal last night! Everything is certainly sounding more confident and going through the whole program each week is paying off.Next week I would like to run our rehearsal a little bit differently. I want to start by focusing on a few things that I think we can still improve. I am sending this out today to ask if you can look at the things on the top of this list before next week, listen to them on OneDrive and practice them so that we make the very best use of our time together.Here are the main things I want us to be practising and will start with these next weekGold – rhythms in the versesLes Mis medley – tempo changes and rhythms, particularly in I Dreamed A Dream and On My OwnWhy We Sing – notes and rhythms for altos tenors and basses on the first three pagesWe will spend a short time on these things at the start of our rehearsal and then go through the rest of the program in order – especially working on more light and shade in our singing.I really appreciate everybody’s hard work. Let’s have one last push over the next to weeks so we can feel really confident in what we’ve done, enjoy performing and show the audience what a great choir the New Music Makers are!Many thanksChris
Tonights Rehearsal and Raffle Prizes
Hi All
Attached is a the programme, with hopefully the last alteration!! And hopefully I have got it right. One Moment In Time has been changed with Fields of Gold. It will look better that the Men don’t stand up and then sit down again after the ladies have sung. So the ladies will stand, sing One Moment In Time and then the men will stand up to sing Fields of Gold. Makes perfect sense.??
KCC have very kindly offered us the Hall on the last Thursday Rehearsal before the Concert. 19th May which will be great, we wont have the staging but we can sing in the positions and we can get a better feel for the Concerts.
I am not sure if I have mentioned but we are going to have a small and short reception after the afternoon Concert for any past members that are in the audience and for the choir members. The idea is to finish the reception by 5.30 to give us time to get ready for the evening performance. So if you know anyone that has been in the choir that would like to buy tickets and attend let them and me know.
Running through the whole programme again tonight see how many you can do without the words, I am sure you will surprise yourselves.
Don’t forget your Raffle Prizes (Pete Blake). I know I said Gold but if it is not gold we will put a gold bow on it!!!! Thanks.

Hi All
Thanks everyone It was great to have so many back this week it made so much difference to the rehearsal and the sound, please try your hardest to work on the pieces at home and to attend each week.
I keep forgetting to add it to my email or ask. Does anyone know any budding photographer, videographer? It would be great to have as many photographs as possible and to have the whole Concert videoed or whatever they call it nowadays.
We have someone to sell raffle tickets in the afternoon but not in the evening do you know anyone who may volunteer?
