SINGING THROUGH THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

ooo000ooo

School holidays here in Queensland are from the 19 September to 5 October.

Yes, Morningsong will sing through the school holidays.
The Wednesday night group, Moresong is yet to be decided.
We will not make a point of learning any new music, unless it's an easy peasy thing with limited thinking required.

If you have children, grandchildren, or visiting friends and relatives, they are welcome to come along.

Music: Let me know of any special requests but I thought that we would revisit some of the oldies that we haven't done for a while.

Payment: For simplicity's sake payment will be by session at the discount rate of $8.50 for everyone and free for children and visitors.
For those doing work exchange at $0 - $5 we will just keep it as it is.
Normal fees will resume for Term 4 beginning Friday 9 October.

VAMOS A CUBA!! More about our visitors on Friday - Newcastle Peoples Chorus and Sydney Trade Unions Choir

Herewith a bit of info and background on the singers who may be coming along to part or the end of our session on Friday.

The Brisbane Combined Unions Choir, the Newcastle Peoples Chorus, the Sydney Trade Unions Choir and fellow travellers from Worker's choirs around Australia will represent Australia at the International Choral Festival in CUBA in November, 2009.

The Newcastle and Sydney singers are coming to Brisbane to practise together and to have a fundraising concert. This concert "VAMOS A CUBA" will be held on the evening of July 17th at 7.30 pm at the the Brisbane Workers Community Centre, 2 Latrobe Terrace, Paddington, hereafter known as the Paddo..

Entry is $15 ($10 concession) and Bar and nibbles are provided. I'm not sure what Bar means but I shall check with Marina , the singing leader of the Brisbane mob, on Friday. Fundraising will subsidise expenses and provide gifts to schools and hospitals the choirs will visit in Cuba.

It looks as if we may have to book to go to the Paddo - so if you are interested call 3395 0920 by the end of Tuesday. You can also email: patriciah10@bigpond.com or mpslivka@bigpond.net.au

On Friday, I am envisioning a burst of people coming in the middle of our session, attempting to be as quiet as lambs and not succeeding in the least, so I'd just like everyone to be aware of who they are and why you suddenly have some booming voices singing in your ears!
