Numbers were a little down on Wednesday but the quality of the singing was really good – congrats to all who were there. This coming week we will definitely make a start on Kheruvimskaya (held over for two weeks now) and continue looking at Be Still My Soul, California Dreamin’ and Ani Couni, together with Cry Heart, Bushes and Briars, Isa Lei and I Can’t Help Falling in Love. Words for these last three are attached.
We had some excellent news from the clerk to the Town Council earlier in the week who wrote: Thank you very much for your grant application . I am pleased to inform you that last night Shaftesbury Town Council resolved to fully support the grant application for continued free use of the Guild Hall by the Community Choir for 12 months on Wednesday evenings. We wish you a successful year.
Many thanks to Julia, Tracey and Annie for submitting the grant application for us. Also thanks to Estrella (alto) and Paul for the attached photo from the Fringe.
