Rehearsal 8th February

Another rehearsal without MD Val Hetherington, who is struggling to shake off a chesty cold. As it's last week before our half-term break, here's hoping she crawls back into bed and lets Pete nurse her back to health!!
We are blessed in having Anne-Marie Kerr and Phil Wood to take over  on such occasions, and so a very good rehearsal. Began with a (not quite) performance standard He Ain't Heavy, followed by Guantanamera AND WE CAN NOW SING THE CHORUS WITHOUT LOOKING AT OUR MUSIC!! Phil took over for a very thorough session of Faure's Ave Maria (including some swapping of lines between sops and altos - Faure was very optimistic thinking altos could get up to F sharp without screeching!  Finished with work on the Agnus Dei from Faure's Requiem, which almost reached its full lush and gorgeous potential! Half term next week, next rerhearsal 22nd (two days before our Marvejols social evening).
