Hi All 

Unfortunately Lillian is still unwell and is unable to make this weeks rehearsal and she has decided that it would probably be best if Chris takes over the Christmas Concert this year as she does not feel that she will be fit enough to attend rehearsals for the time being.  

Chris has very kindly agreed to this and we will also be using a pianist to help with some of the rehearsals and the Concert.

The following is what we will be rehearsing this week.  Jingle Bell Rock certainly needs some work on it after singing through it last week 🤭.  I think I may have to look at it before Thursday.

Jingle Bell Rock 

Follow the Star

Wonderful Christmas Time

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

The Little Drummer Boy

Silver Bells

Carol of the Bells

Sing we Now of Christmas

Do you Hear what I Hear

Talking about the website my Chris has put all of the rehearsal YouTube’s under ‘online rehearsals’. Unfortunately a few of them were deleted before Chris could get round to editing them but we will try and make sure that does not happen again.  

I said at the last rehearsal that I had something that I wanted to tell you but could not find my notes. Well I have now and it is important.

The date that we had picked for our Golden Concert has had to be changed because the Queen has stolen it for her 70th Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.  She must not have got my email that we had chosen that date.  It was hard to find a date that was not a bank holiday or was not half term and we finally decided on 21st May 2022 and KCC has been booked for the day for two Concerts.  So please make a note of it in your diaries.

Hi TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE LET ME KNOW YOU ARE ATTENDING THIS SATURDAY

It would be appreciated if you and your guests could have an LFT (lateral flow test) at least  24 hours before attending the “Get Together and Sing Together”.

There will be a Raffle. Any donated raffle prizes will be much appreciated.

There will also be a retiring collection to help cover expenses.

I am sure that you will be delighted to see one of the lockdown babies, Becci’s   “Edie” and her brother Ollie who will be joining us – I am told she will probably steal the show.  There may also be other children present.

We will be singing using our black folders, please remember to watch Chris and don’t bury your heads in the books!
