First night back - well - I think everyone was delighted to meet up again as there were lots of hugs and kisses etc. - and not enough time to talk! We welcomed three new members, two ladies and one gentleman and two returning members who had taken breaks for travel etc. We also welcomed one of the Prague Choir members who originally joined us for our tour but enjoyed it all so much that she has come back on a permanent basis (she will be travelling up from Hamilton so obviously enjoys our company) - and we expect a couple more in the next week or so once they sort out their programmes for the year.
The two new ladies are both Music Teachers, one of whom is keen to play whenever we need her, and the other who prefers to sing but is willing to help out on the piano if needed, how lucky can we be! With Alexis, our Musical Director, attending the Music Camp; Well Being Symposium in Melbourne this week – see our story on this – we have someone to take over the piano whilst our usual accompanist will direct.
There were a few away due to health problems etc., but they will be back in the next couple of weeks and a couple of others must still be away as we haven’t heard from them yet.
Oh yes, we have another Choir baby on the way - it's been 4 years since we were last a “Choir in Waiting”!
