Preparation For The Big Event

William Relton

On September 21st, the choir had a special rehearsal with William Relton in preparation for the  Royal Albert Hall concert in November.

The musical director and conductor William Relton visited us in Spain to take us through the music in preparation for the forthcoming big event at the Royal Albert Hall.

Saturday 3rd Nov will see the final concert of this type.  An evening of music by two famous UK brass bands and approximately 1500 singers from choirs around the UK and a few visiting from overseas.

We are taking part and all the arrangements are finished now, hopefully says Sally... she has been coordinating all the bookings, transfers, flights etc. I think she needs a medal.

The choir have been learning the songs and just to make sure we are on the right track and as costs were prohibitive for us to attend a UK regional rehearsal, Mr William Relton kindly came to us in Spain, along with the organiser Syd.

We had a good rehearsal and evening, but we must say a special thank you to Sue for playing the piano for us that night and a big thank you to Spikey for taking the great photos.

We have a gallery of a selection of the photos from the rehearsal.

So as the big day looms I think we are fairly well prepared.  Just remember no more copies.... so it's all from memory.  So my advice is "just smile at it".
