We always do a warm up, some are more interesting than others but they are essential to do before the actual singing. This week Kate included an unusual warm up involving bananas, mangoes and watermelon, a lot of arm movement and some stomping. Some of us enjoyed it more than others but most of us found it hilarious and it caused a lot of laughter. (Perhaps I should add there was no real fruit involved.) To get to the actual singing, we started two new songs, Carol of the bells and Ding! Dong! merrily on high; both involving bells and calling for a lot of ‘dings’ and ‘dongs’. Some of the singing actually sounded like bells and it was lovely to hear. At least it sounded like bells from where I was sitting! Both songs were great fun to do, although challenging, but we all need a challenge every now and again.
