EXCELLENT TURN OUT LAST WEEK!
It was great seeing so many of you last week and hope our numbers continue to grow now that we’re meeting at ODCE. This week we’re back in the Neil McPhee Room on the First Floor, ODCE. Look for signs. Remember it’s okay to bring your lunch, arrive late or leave early.

SHOW TUNES!
We don’t have a piano currently, but Kathleen will bring some lyric sheets for us to trial some show tunes (of course we’ve already been learning The Lion Sleeps Tonight, which is in the stage version of The Lion King). We also had a great time last week singing through some traditional rounds and canons in 2-4 parts.

HAVE YOUR PAID CHOIR DUES YET?
For those who can’t enrol for the whole term, feel free to come on the day and pay $20 (credit card payment form available). Contact Courtney Bow to enrol for Term 3 or Emma Swart for any questions.

We have also started learning Akanamandla, an exuberant song from Africa:
