MEMBERS AREA

Great rehearsal last week, thank you. Learning lots so it's quite hard work but it will pay off and we'll sound glorious (optimist!)

Just for a matter of interest, with the 2 Easter concerts (25th March and 29th March), did you know that the Palm Sunday one starts at 6.30? Just thought I'd mention it :) 

Can you add 13th May (Banham) and 20th May (URC) to your calendars please? They are the dates for our 2 'songs from the shows' concerts, both 7.30pm. Many thanks.

A PLEA FROM THE CHAIR
 

Waveney Choir is one of the happiest, friendliest institutions I have ever had the privilege to be involved with. However, I have been saddened recently by the lack of attention and respect shown by some choir members during rehearsals. We are, after all, there to learn and to sing, to make that beautiful sound during our concerts which so enchants our audiences. But it comes from hard work.... note bashing can be tedious, yes, but it is oh so necessary for us to perform at our best. Even if it is not your part practicing, stay quiet, be respectful (and don't sing your part when it's not your turn!) Listen to the conductor, even if that is not Sarah-Jane... Cailin and I have both suffered standing up there, pretty terrified but doing our best, knowing that some of you are simply not engaged or listening. It is a horrible feeling. So please, listen, don't talk amongst yourselves (do it in your own time!), and invest in what we are - a beautiful choir practicing to produce a wonderful sound. Thank you.

There is a Thanksgiving service for Ray Collins on Friday 13th, 2pm at the Methodist church in Diss. Can you let me know if you'd like to attend if you weren't there last night? Jean will reserve some places for us.
