Sarah-Jane's Updates
Well, we did it! What a great concert last night, well done!
Enjoyed all the pieces again and the sound was tremendous.
The quiet bits were glorious and boy, can we sing loud!
Solo slots were contrasting and perfectly executed (thank you for giving up your time to come and rehearse).
Thank you to all of you who took on solo sections within pieces - much appreciated.
Thank you to those of you that turn up every week, rain or shine, you are the glue that holds us all together.
The atmosphere was relaxed but you gave a professional performance, thank you. I'm sure the people who came last night, who have never been to one of our concerts before, will come again. We come across as a jolly lot :)
Thank you so much for the card - what lovely comments you made and I'm so pleased that you enjoy coming to choir. Thank you also for the mugs, flowers and money. Shona and me are blown away by the amount you gave. I'd like to say I'm going to buy a new frock with the money but we all know that's a lie - new tennis shoes here I come!
Please enjoy your summer and we'll see each other again in September.
