This was an entertaining choir practice with Katy beginning the session by introducing Becky who was photographing us throughout for the updated website. Katy had us in stitches with the Warm Up, which was like a game of remembering what comes next using words of 2 syllables and 3 tapping a body sequence, Mangos and Bananas then Watermelon. Katy assured us it was to improve our skills in listening, language, timing, a good brain booster. We then had a singing warm up finishing with a group photograph on the stage. After this came the Christmas songs with Maria choosing, “While Shepherds Watched.” We sang “ Gaudette”, “Merry Christmas,” “Walking In The Air,” “ Ding Dong Merrily On High” “ The Night Before Christmas Song,” “Somewhere in My Memory.”
After, there was time for a chat and a supportive catch-up. People left feeling they had had a stimulating and enjoyable evening.
