Fun rehearsal with six singers, very good to have Rob S back with us. Music all round generally sharper. Spent 15 minutes of “warm up” song Tourdion: Singing went well.

Java Jive Ok I think, some finessing expected from Rob in due course. Havana Ok I think. Route 66 Homework needed on women-men call-reponse sections. Tourdion Introduction repeated *7* times in total, with staggered entry bottom up, sops joining for the last 2. Verses, pipe up when you have words, down when you don’t. AOB Proposed to move gigs to spring and autumn to avoid summer heat and competition from holidays / Continue reading Rehearsal Notes 7 July 2026 – AOB proposed change to main gig pattern→
