Scanned Carol Songbook – RVCP.pdf

Lins Emails

Hi All
Attached are a copy of the words to the carols that we are singing at the RVCP just in case you want print them off. You SHOULD get a copy of the words given to you.
I have been in touch with the chapel and as we know everyone is required to wear masks. Just in case you were unaware the visors are not accepted unless another mask is worn underneath. We will take the masks off to do our performance but will keep them on when we are sat and sing the communal carols, this is to encourage the audience to wear it when they are singing. The vicar will make the announcement for them to keep their masks on whilst they are singing.
So just to reiterate Ladies are wearing their blue sparkly tops with black trousers comfortable shoes/ankle boots. Make sure you wear a warm black jacket/cardigan.
Men to wear white shirt and blue sparkly bow ties and your dinner jackets, please feel free to wear a v neck jumper underneath if you feel you may be chilly.
Might be nice to wear a christmas hat for our last little two songs, and then we can keep them on and keep warm. I may be totally wrong and it may be really warm but better to be on the safe side.
See you tomorrow.
Lin

CAROL CONCERT 2021.pdf

Lins Emails
Hi All who are Singing at the RVCP
Attached is the programme, I guess as they have sent one to us we will not get a printed one?  So it might be worth printing one off for yourselves just in case.
I am almost certain we will be wearing the blue sparkly tops anyone who has not got one I will bring on Thursday. And men white shirts lets save the black ones till our concert and sparkly bow tie that were new last time. (Sorry can’t show pic at moment)  Please can you make sure you are there by 6.00 pm with music in a black folder and blue tinsel.  Again I will bring some on Thursday if you do not have any.  Please have a look those that were at the concert last time you will have some somewhere.

Fwd: Singing at Care Home 10th December – Singing for Lights

Lins Emails

 

 

Hi all

 

A few members have expressed an interest in singing at Florence Court Care Home, 243 Segensworth Road, Fareham,  PO15 5EW, on Friday 10th December at 4.30 pm.  Eric has kindly agreed to operate the boombox, and we will be using the carols on the Christmas CD, words to which are attached.  The home is situated on the Segensworth roundabout off Junction 9 of the M27.

 

The weather forecast is not great, but we will be under cover, albeit outside.  Suggest the ladies could wear the grey ponchos and tartan scarves with black trousers, men preferably a black coat.  But if you don’t have them, then wear what you like!

 

Those I believe are attending are please let me know if I have missed anyone:

 

Eric

Beryl

Sharon

Lin

Maggie

Pete

Keith

 

Are there any more sopranos who can help out please?  If so please let me know.

 

It will be nice to be able to provide a bit of Christmas cheer to the Home after such an awful year for them.  I believe there will be festive food available in their bistro.

 

Thank you.

 

Sharon
