Come & Sing

40 participants turned up on September 19th for our latest "Come and Sing", a 1-day choral workshop.  This was less than the last Come & Sing event held last year, but numbers were sufficient to make a  viable choir. .  

Hosted by Lutterworth Methodist Church, the day began at 10:30 with Rotary members setting up the tables and chairs and bringing along an incredible array of cakes ready for the provided lunch and afternoon tea.

By 10:00 am, our "choir for the day" participants had started to arrive, and at 10:30 am, our Musical Director Andrew Goff  supported by accompanist Chris started the proceedings with a "warm-up" of the vocal cords.  Then followed an excellent day of music and singing as the various and well-known songs from Broadway were rehearsed and sung.

A light lunch of sandwiches, fruit, and cake (lots and lots of cake) was served at 1:30 pm, before returning for the afternoon session.  Friends and family were invited to a short performance at the end of afternoon rehearsals, but before this came afternoon tea for everyone (with lots more cake).  The short performance was a delight to listen to, and it was evident from the volume that the choir had learnt a lot and really enjoyed the day.  A fitting finale to a day's work.

The Rotary Club of Lutterworth Wycliffe would like to extend a big, big thank you to Musical Director Andrew and accompanist Chris along with the Methodist Church for allowing us to make use of their premises  Proceeds from the day will go to LOROS and other Rotary approved charities.   Also, a big thank you to Rotarian Judy Fitz-Hugh, the principal organiser of the day.
