Monday 6th September heralded the start of undercover face-to-face rehearsals for Snowdown Male Voice Choir and, what an occasion it was!
Chairman David Rance kicked off the evening by reflecting on our last rehearsal at St Finbarr’s – 18 months ago, almost to the day. “Nobody ever imagined we’d be away for so long.
And my message tonight is short and sweet – let’s go and sing again, and let’s enjoy it”.
And enjoy it we did!
After so long, we were understandably rusty and Chris Price, one of our co musical directors launched into some old favourites, which were great fun and laid down some serious homework that we all need to do to get back up to speed.
The atmosphere was terrific and after rehearsal, we had all contributed to a buffet so that we could reminisce and renew old friendships that have been difficult to maintain during lock down.
The icing on the cake was that a new potential member arrived and joined in with great enthusiasm. He left rehearsal on a high and is looking forward to next week when we meet again.
If you are free on a Monday at 7.30pm, then come along to St Finbarr’s Church, Aylesham and give it a go. It is terrific fun and very therapeutic.
No previous experience necessary, we will help you all the way. If you are keen to give it a try, contact profficer@snowdown-choir.co.uk or 07590 916574 for more information.
