We're almost done!
We've got the next 3 weeks to finish learning (a very small amount) and to polish up all our pieces and then we're going to have an amazing show!
Some people are worried that we don't have enough time to get it all together, but I'm sure we can manage. We've got a few little bits to learn to finish TV Time and a few little bits to learn in the ABBA Medley and the rest is just polishing. We have a great number of excellent choristers who know their parts and they lead the others who are excellent followers.
Have a look at the list of what we're singing, to see if there are things in your binder that you don't have to worry about. There are a few pieces that we decided not to do this year.
Remember that we are a community choir and our job is to have fun and entertain our friends and families on May 5th, and then the seniors in seniors' homes after that. We don't have to be perfect. Nobody in any of our audiences will have the scores in front of them to see if we should have been singing in harmony but were in unison, or vice versa :)
They will hear heavenly harmonies, dramatic dynamics, and memorable melodies that they will love. We have lots of beautiful music to offer our audiences, and I'm sure they will appreciate the variety and quality of the songs we're going to sing.
We sing for fun, but we also sing to stretch our musical ability, to learn and improve continuously, to grow. That we have done, and we will continue to do.
Every year we get better, each of us and all of us.
Yours in harmony,
Renate
