…. to singing again!
Just to confirm we are meeting tomorrow Monday 7th Feb at Marldon Parish Church at 7.30pm.
Please bring a face covering to wear whilst moving around, they can be removed once seated and as usual we will be spacing the chairs so we are socially distanced.
Also please bring any music you may have at home, as new music will be distributed for the Summer term.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again!
We are going to start back singing on Monday 7th Feb and will start working towards a summer concert rehearsing through to Monday 11th April without a half-term break.
Our summer concert with be on Saturday 2nd July at St John’s Church, Totnes
And there are some social events coming up to put in the calendar:
Saturday 9th April – Sing along Grease
Saturday 10th September – Last night of the Proms with a live link to the Royal Albert Hall.
Oh dear, I’m sorry to say that we are going to postpone the start of choir rehearsals and will not be meeting next Monday 10th Jan as originally planned.
This is because of high levels of Covid locally. Several members have expressed concern about this and the Choir Committee made this decision yesterday.
Please watch this website for further information. Hopefully we will resume in a couple of weeks, but will let everyone know in good time.
We are starting back next Monday, 10th January at 7.30pm in Marldon Village hall.
We will be staying safe and asking that masks be worn when walking around but they can be removed when seated, so please make sure you bring one with you, (we will have some available if you forget), and we will be continuing to maintain social distancing between chairs.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and to be singing again!
Regretfully the Choir will not be singing at Occombe Farm on Thursday 16th December as planned due to the rapid rise of COVID and the need to protect our choir members. We are all really sorry not to be joining in the Christmas festivities at Occombe and wish everyone a very Happy and Safe Christmas
Calling all men!
Do you enjoy singing? Don’t sing alone, come and join our friendly and active choir.
You dont have to read music, and you dont have to live in Marldon. Come and join us at Occombe Farm tomorrow (Thursday 16th) where we will be singing Christmas songs and carols outside the Farm shop and find out more!
Fabulous lantern procession and singing with the Salvation Army band for the lighting of the Christmas tree at The Church House Inn. Led by Santa and helped by local elves with lots of families joining in the fun. A great village event!
As promised, here are the details for our singing events:
Monday 13th December: Lantern procession from Marldon school to The Church House Inn where we will be leading carol singing for the lighting-up of the Christmas tree.
Thursday 16th December: We will be singing outside Occombe Farm Shop from 6-8pm during their late night Christmas shopping event. Further details of Occombe Farm Christmas activities can be seen on http://www.occombe.co.uk
We are now well into rehearsing our Christmas Music and will be giving news soon about 2 events where we have been invited to sing.
In the meantime, does anyone have or know anyone who has an upright piano in good condition that they are willing to donate or sell to us? Please contact us via this website contact page if you can help
Many thanks!
We are all delighted to be back singing again whilst of course paying heed to all the Covid guidelines for singing as a choir. We were pleased to welcome several new people on our first rehearsal and it’s not too late to join us if you’d like to have a taster session. We start each rehearsal with a warm-up session, getting our voices used to singing again, and remembering how to breathe and then have gone on to rehearse some of our Christmas favourites, ready for whatever gigs might come our way. Please contact us via the website or Facebook if you feel like giving it a go.
