Absolutely incredible ...... I am blown away by the response to the launch of JUNCTIØN18. We now have 40 ladies who have registered their interest in coming along to our launch night on Monday 9th September! There may be some drop out (or even a few more additions ....but I hope not too many more !!!!). When I was planning the set up, I decided that if I had less than 10, I wouldn't do it because it wouldn't be worth all of the planning involved .... so to get this level of interest is amazing.
It will be a learning curve for all of us because although I have about 30+ years experience of different styles of choral singing myself, I have not actually stood in front and conducted before .... so it is a new challenge for me! However, I can assure you that I have spent considerable time preparing for the new ladies choir.
I also have some fabulous news for JUNCTIØN18 ........ even before we start! Those of you who have ever heard award winning vocal ensemble 'Ocho' sing a Christmas or Summer concert at the Church, will have seen Hannah Wilkinson providing a beautiful alto line to the group. Many of you may recognise her also as a former Fallowfields, Crick resident, now living in Ashby St Ledgers. Well, Hannah has very kindly offered to help in the initial set up of the choir. Some of the music will be sung in unison but where there are harmonies, Hannah will be there in the early days of the choir to help, particularly the alto line ........ We are not sure how long she will be with us because she has a busy job as a GP, a very active young family and is already very busy with other musical commitments. However, I'm sure we'll all welcome her, whatever time she can give!
40 singers! Wow .... thats one huge fabulous sing-a-long PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See as many of you as possible on Monday 9th September 8.00-10.00.
