How Do We Compare?

10/7/2008

A suggestion has been made that our music is outmoded and needs updating, therefore I suggest we arrange a series of visits to other choir's concerts, to get a better understanding of their styles of music, standard of singing and performance, thus enabling us to better understand our own music, singing and performance!
So girls, are you up for a challenge?

I disagree.Having been to other concerts and being a member of other groups I think we are well near the "top of the tree"
We do have to consider our audience and what they want. It is well known that the male voice choir get good audiences because they sing songs that people know and can relate to. By the way,I think the new songs yet to be learnt are great.

A good comparison at the moment is "Last Choir Standing" on BBC One on Saturday night, which I know we are all watching with interest!

I agree with Sandra. We have moved on a great deal in the last few years and now sing a good variety of songs. Our concerts are "happy" concerts and send the audience home smiling. What more can you ask.

I also agree with Sandra. I think we sing a good range of popular music much of which is known to our audience. People know what they like and LIKE WHAT THEY KNOW .

As for 'Last Choir Standing' I think far too much emphasis is being placed on choreography. One conductor actually said 'We are a choir, and not a song and dance troup'. They were eliminated!!

Hi everyone. Hope you are enjoying the
summer break! (well not so much summer!)I
miss our Wednesday night rehersals and every time I see the last chior standing on the t.v, I always think we could be just as good! I think our songs are good, all round songs, although if any more difficult arrangements were to be presented to us, I know we are up for a challenge! see you all in september!
