If you are a member of the choir you can register with the website to be able to access sheet music and audio recordings.

1. To do this you must first register with the web site. CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE REGISTRATION PAGE
   • When you register you will choose your own username (usually your email address) and password of your choice.
   • At all times I recommend you save your password when prompted so don’t need to enter each time you go to the site.
2. Once registered you will need to be accepted as a choir member by the web site administrator to be able to access the private files that we use.
   • This is not automatic and requires a site administrator to manually update your registration.
3. When you are fully registered you will be able to see sheet music and audio recordings, but still there is another username and password that you need to enter to access the music, this is the same for everyone, it is the username chater and the password will be told to you by Nigel at the rehearsal, it is the same as it has always been.

If you have any problems or questions talk to me, Nigel at rehearsal, or drop me a line on nigel@redoblong.co.uk

Hope you all had a good Easter and the miserable weather hasn’t dampened your spirits and enthusiasm to begin the summer term on Tuesday! Can I also take the opportunity to say what a fabulous evening the Spring Social was and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Just a reminder to those who haven’t yet paid subs or bought music payment can be made on Tuesday evening from 7pm ( to enable a rehearsal start on time). Subs are £24 for the term and music is £7:20. If you need Lullaby (£1.80), Singing in the Rain (£1.95) or The Circle of Life (£1.75) please add these to your total. Cheques payable to Tracy Steward CCC.

See you on Tuesday!

Social Evening Tuesday 27th March 7:30pm – Open rehearsal / BYO nibbles and refreshments

The last rehearsal this term will be a social one with an opportunity to perform our festival pieces (especially if you were unable to take part in the festivals) to our friends and family.

A list will go around for offerings and as we are at school if you wish you have a tipple please bring your own. Tea and Coffee will be provided.

If anyone wants to ‘do a turn’ then let me know and it would add to the evening’s entertainment. More than anything it’s an opportunity to have a chat with new friends that you hopefully have discovered through the terms ‘alternative’ seating arrangements! It would also be a nice chance to chat with our dependable audience and non – singing supporters.

It will also be an opportunity to settle the summer term subs and purchase the music pack for the summer concert (July 14th).

Subs will be: £24 (No rehearsals: May 22nd and June 11th)

Music: £7:20 (not including Lullabye, Circle of Life and Singing in the Rain)

Total: £31:20

Please invite an audience! No charge!!!😊

We will spend some time on The Water Is Wide for the Oundle festival but we can also start one or two of the summer concert pieces that most of you will already have.

These are:

Lullabye Goodnight my Angel
Circle of Life
Singing in the Rain
Let the River Run (attached)

If you do not have copies I have ones available to buy:

Lullabye £1:80
Circle of Life £1.75
Singing in the Rain £1.95

However much I’m a great believer in snow does not stop play I am taking the decision to cancel tonight’s rehearsal.

Even if we have no more snow today with the temperatures predicted well below zero tonight I don’t not want anyone making trips out on the roads.

Please use your rehearsal tracks from the warmth and comfort of your home!

Take care, stay warm and I’ll see you next week – men 7:30pm and ladies from 8pm.

Men 7:30pm

Ladies to join at 8pm

Please remember your folders

Don’t forget –  no rehearsal on Tuesday 13th February ( I’m poorly anyway now 🙁 ) – enjoy your pancakes!
