Wrablers Rehearsal Minutes 08-09-26 Chair: Sandy Attendees:  SC, RM, MR, MX, LS, CS, PS, WT, PV  plus 3 guests for ‘Taster’ session. Apologies: JB, RS Thanks to Robin for taking the warm up session and to Marcus for taking the lead bringing us in and counting across our practice songs as well as guiding us through the body percussion practice..  White Winter Hymnal: Warm up song, sung through twice, no big issues. Need to check with Rob on tempo, breathing and phrasing. Java Jive: Remembered Rob’s instruction to sing a little slower, more sultry.

Louli-as-chair Report Report from first the Tasting session (not on minutes which go onto the website)We were joined by 4 Tasters who were given a warm welcome, copies of all songs, name labels and an induction conversation with Max. 3 people came via the leaflets in the Community Centre and were known to each other, the 4th Victoria came via Peter. 1 left in the first half. 2 enthusiastically stayed on and joined in as they could, including with Dance moves and said a friendly goodbye at the end before snacks.

Wrablers Rehearsal Notes   04.08.26 Chair: JB Attendees: JB, SC, RM, CS, MR, PV Apols: RS, WT, LS, PS, MX So, we were 6. Robin warmed us up with one of his inimitable creations. Warm up song – Route 66 – Sang through a couple of times. Delicious harmonies getting tighter. Altos found it easier to hear where we were going wrong without the Sopranos there to distract us!

Colin representing the basses was resolute about staying in the lower register, [sounding like wolves in the Continue reading Wrablers Rehearsal Notes 04.08.2026→
