Last gospel session of 2009!
December 14, 2009
Hi there all you lovely gospelers!
I hope you’re all feeling very Christmassy this evening!
Firstly, huge thanks to all of you for your participation over the last two weeks. You’ve all been absolutely amazing!
~ For those of you who missed any of it, here goes!
Wednesday (way back on the 2nd) we had a bit of an intense rehearsal! I was totally surprised at how much you all improved and really came together as a choir that night. You’ve all done so much great work in just ten weeks, well done to you all.
Thursday we had a great gig in Kilcock, our first one this year! It was really good fun, and you were all great on stage, you looked the part and sang amazingly. No fear of stages or mics here!
Wednesday was our big night out in Maynooth and time to sing with the girls’ choir Nicola and I had been working with. Thanks to everyone for being so nice to the girls. They had an amazing time and I think more than one of the girls has set their sights on a certain Spaniard!
Thursday night we took a trip to Celbridge to sing a few ditties with the Celbridge/Straffan choir. I’m not gonna lie.. there was hand-holding.
Friday night a few of us took ourselves along to Pugin Hall to sing at the Mature Students’ Christmas ball. We were (happily!) joined by a few of the Celbridge/Straffan choir members and some enthusiastic dance moves from party guests!
Congratulations to all of our soloists too — very impressive performances girls and boys! You’ve all come along alot since your first auditions and you should all be very proud.
Thanks so much to everyone who made it to both the mature students’ party and the Celbridge gig, we really appreciate all of your enthusiasm for, and dedication to this little thing called Gospel.
In other news! Floz dearest has finished with the recordings from Wednesday in Maynooth and they’re available online along with some videos which some generous people have uploaded to our… (wait for it)…
**Facebook page!!**
So join. It’s where all the cool kids are…
This week! we’ll be having our bye-bye ’09 Christmas party! (speaking of which, I’ve got a wad of cash to spend on refreshments for you people.. sparkling water ok?) So bring along your voices and whatever instruments you play and we might even have a surprise or two in store… (oh it’s gonna be good!)
I reckon that’s about all that’s on this chick’s mind, so happy Christmassing everybody and I’ll see you all this Gospelday!
Paula, xx
