Choir stuff

Busy week for Choir. I sing in two choirs at the moment; one is the church one and one is a small chamber choir. The Chamber choir has gone through a rough patch in the last few years, we're on our fourth choir leader, and a lot of the older members have left for various reasons. Thankfully the current woman taking us is absolutely awesome and fantastic, and has been serious about recruiting. So we've gone from a group of about 15 with me being the youngest to a group of about 30, and with most of those being younger then me. It's fantastic to be in a choir that is so enthusiastic! However it's going to be a busy weekend. Normal practice tomorrow, singing at a carol concert on Friday (whose bright idea was it to schedule a carol concert the same evening as the Springbok ruby celebration at Montecasino??), an extended practice on Saturday, and another concert on Sunday!

Church choir isn't much better - we also have an extra practice on Saturday which I have to skip as it is at the same time as the other practice! We're singing at a big mass in two weeks time in a joint choir, with the members of the choir from one of the other services on a Sunday. There is much politics involved in that service - it could be an interesting mass!

It doesn't help that I can just feel a niggling cold sneaking up on me! I just need to survive the next two weeks though!
