It was good to be back at rehearsals again on Saturday. We had a short (ish) rehearsal inwhich we started to learn a new piece - a version of The Lord is My Shepherd - and then we all went off to Prestwold for a 1pm wedding.
There was some good hearty hymn singing stiffened by Caroline, Alyn and Ruth on the back row and then Enchanted sang Gaelic Blessing (affectionately called Garlic Dressing) and O Lovely Peace during the signing of the register. We even got a clap which was rather nice!
We're still hoping to find another venue for a concert in the Lincolnshire / Norfolk border area but nothing has materialised yet. We've made a couple of approaches but are disappointed not to have received replies as yet. We may have to get our unofficial tour manager, Julia, on the job to chivvy them along by phone.
Menawhile, Ruth (guardian of the roses, jackets, folders and other random requirements that a young ladies' choir might need) is getting quotes for Enchanted hoodies and t-shirts - we love that kind of thing!
We spent some of Saturday working out everyone's tour names - not just the choir but the support team, too: Arty, Geeky, Scatty, Perfect, Dancer, Goth, Big Chief, Nimble Fingers, Keep Calm, King Pin, Runaround, Matron, Bearded Tenor, Peculiar ... subject to revision and we leave you to guess who's who for now.
More rehearsals on Saturday with our next concert on June 30th with the Belvoir Wassailers. More on that next time.
Stay tuned folks!
