And So It Begins!

No, not the snow, the Pinkies' summer season of course! I realise it is a bit odd referring to "summer" when the streets are blanketed with a few inches of the white stuff, but we are kicking off a little earlier this season for what is essentially one the busiest six months in the history of our choir. This season we have no less than two concerts in London, one in Scotland, and two overseas in Paris and Malta.

It being the first week of rehearsals we also had a number of potential new members coming along. I imagine it is all somewhat overwhelming entering an enclosed room full of noisy, boistrous Pink Singers (not to mention the odour of nearly 80 bodies in a space with too little ventilation), but I hope they enjoyed themselves. People get really worried about the voice checking, but it is as informative to the newbies, as it is to the Mladen and Michael, and being at a rehearsal is as much an opportunity for the newbie to get a feel for the choir as it is for us to see how they fit in with us. Several of them came along to the pub afterwards, and it was fun hearing their stories of why they wanted to join and how they heard about us. Judging by yesterday's potential Pinkies, it looks like a good season ahead!
