Wrablers Rehearsal Notes 10.11.26 Chair: JB Attendees: JB, WT, LS, MX, SC, ID, RS, PS, CS, MR, PV, RS No apols! First rehearsal this term with all singers and Rob present! Robin warmed us up in the unique style to which he and we have become accustomed … followed by a vocal warm-up by Rob. A top-and-tail staging of the next six songs (Havana to Vox Vibe) followed. Let’s just say staging is in the early stages, and will need some consolidation on Sunday. Havana – Apart from a false start due to a timing issue (?) this old favourite Continue reading Minutes 10 Nov 2026→

Chair: PVVenue: Golden Lane Community CentreAttendees: JB, SC, RM, MR, CS, PS, WT, (PV), LS, MX,Apologies: RS (sick with flu)GeneralThis was the first rehearsal this term where every singer was present. It was also the first pre-concert “run-through” of songs 1-6. Unfortunately, Rob S was absent, sick with flu so, no doubt, valuable critical input was missing. However, this turned out to be a very upbeat evening. Everyone was encouraged to sing off copy as much as possible for the first time this term, and (with some surprise perhaps) the amount of remembered words and the uptake in singing quality Continue reading MINUTES 3rd NOVEMBER 2026→

Attendees:  JB, SC, ID, RM, MM, MR, LS, PS, WT, PV Apologies: CS, RS Warm-up Song – Heartbeat Rhythm Ran it without clapping, awaiting piano accompaniment. More practice needed on the “sforzando piano” dynamic at bar 44 (accented f followed by immediate p). Africa Coming together but CODA needs much more work. We worked on bars 104-107 (130-133) – melody and rhythm were problematic. We didn’t touch 108-115 (134-141 ) which are similarly hard – intensive homework for everyone. We didn’t reach the rest of the CODA but it’s a reprise of earlier sections. Men / Women songs I Got Continue reading MINUTES 20 OCTOBER 2026→
