GCS Weekly Warmup (040917)
Posted April 12, 2017Hello my singing friends!
Last week Rachel was sick so Ann Sneid took over the practice. I was sorry to miss it. I heard it was fun!
Last Week We Sang:
All The Little Rivers
Make our garden grow (first three pages)
Hallelujah
O Siem
Music of the night
This week … Don’t forget we will be meeting at First Baptist on Woolwich near Norwich.
Practice what you have and listen to the practice tracks.
Especially listen and practice ‘Make Your Garden Grow’
We need a theme!
I have received a couple of suggestions but would love to hear more from you! Got any ideas? If so, please send them to me.
Concert Tickets:
We’d like to have an idea of how many tickets we should pre-order for our upcoming concert. Please let us know how many you will need.
More Mondegreens
Shana Elfman writes: Do you remember that song “Voices Carry” by ‘Til Tuesday? I’ll never forget a radio DJ asking people to stop phoning in and asking for “This is Gary”! Also, I loved the song “Blinded by the Light” by Manfred Mann, but for years I misinterpreted the line “Revved up like a deuce” as “Wrapped up like a douche”!!
What’s your favourite Mondegreen?
Social Stuff:
We have had some response on where and when we should go for dinner. We’re tied! Please take a minute and fill out the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XL2DH7X
