You were at a different concert to me then!!

For she'zzz a jolly good fellow
For she'zzz a jolly good fellow
For she'zzz a jolly good (hic)
And tho thay all of uth






That's our choir conductor folks

*gulp*....

And, erm, who's the lady lying on the floor with the bottle in her hand?

She was one of our soloists!

Anyone else need parts for the swing group? This is my final call!

I'll make it up as I go thanks Barry. (I THINK I'm in that..... )

Isn't that what jazz is all about?...

I have the name 'sbhoa' on the swing ensemble list *looks at list*, yep, there it is..'sbhoa', clarinet

I'm about to start sorting out the running order... can I just check that everybody who needs an accompanist has now got one, and that everybody who's volunteered to accompany has got their music and is happy - if not, please contact me!

I received Carls' music today

Hi Daisy glad you got my music ok, does it look playable?

Hi Carl,

Yes, I'll give it my best shot for you. Are you keeping to the MM's as written? And the repeats?

Thanks

Is the order going to be online beforehand, have you decided?

Pretty much the same answer as before...



..... except at the moment there's a bit of rearranging going on as to who is taking part in one or two of the ensembles as somebody has had to drop out

OK. I should be reasonably practised with my small ensemble pieces by next Saturday (next Saturday ), so hopefully I won't be overloaded...

oooops too late for applying,

but presumably tickets or whatever on the door for anyone who wants to attend as audience?

Just a quick line to say have a great day everyone.
Just as well Great Aunt May isn't going either, I think she's after a man
Hope you all really enjoy yourselves. I shall be in the sunshine and then later flying back to Blighty.
Beverley.

Thank you, I'm sure we will! We'll miss you, and Great Aunt May!

Enjoy your holiday!

Great May might have been able to keep Add and Lidd in some sort of order! Sorry that you won't be with us.

Can someone reply to poor Saxfan, please? I don't know the answer, otherwise I would!

Sorry ChrisH, I'd made use of the "Ignore user" facility so I couldn't reply until I saw your post.

Please don't *anyone* turn up on the day expecting to be admitted - as I said to somebody a few weeks ago who asked me if they could do that, the answer is no - unless you've applied and received an acknowledgement which you need to bring to the college with you, you won't be admitted and I wouldn't like anyone to make a wasted journey. Other organisers may have different arrangements, but that is the arrangement for Leeds. The deadline for applications passed a long time ago.

Carl has asked me to let everybody know that he's now got his train ticket so he's still definitely coming to Leeds

That's great news. Look forward to seeing you there Carl.

hi Amber, hope you are reasonably well, cos I know you haven't been. Are you going to be singing in spite of everything? I am sorry I shan't be able to hear you --

well you know why

take care, Amber.


me too?

forgive my asking, does anyone know if KJ is going?

No, neither katyjay nor I will be at Leeds this year.

ah, thank you andante

It is a matter of security rather than exclusion. As an organiser I had to have a full list of names and numbers of anyone attending before the day. I had several youngsters there in my charge and lots of very valuable instruments lying around and we had to know that all would be safe and well. The doors were kept locked apart from one in the main building and that room was never left without at least two bodyguards. This is a public forum and it would be a simple matter for someone to adopt the identity of one of the thousands of members who have registered but not posted, and to come along with other purposes in mind than music. That is why we have closing dates and application forms. I would imagine that forumites would be most welcome if they were to ask for a pass beforehand.

NO!!!!....................I can't believe it - it won't be a proper forum concert without you!!

I think you may be a bit behind the times in what you're thinking. I don't see any point in raking over old ground. The time to bury the hatchet and move on is long gone.

Does anybody need/want me to bring a flute - have looked at my list and it appears I need just clari, sax, voice and arms...

Quite so

I don't think it's fair to talk about anyone specifically, so I will simply say that by the time applications opened, there was no forum member who may have thought otherwise who was under the impression that they were not welcome at Leeds, and if any forum member is not attending Leeds, that is their own choice.




I'm sorry you feel that way StuMac. As you know, I've exchanged numerous emails with you in an effort to be supportive and to try to ensure that you got as much out of the concert as possible so I'm sorry if you don't feel as if you're going to enjoy it after all.

I'm sure the rest of us are going to enjoy ourselves though

Recorder?

W

KAZOO!

All I meant was that I would miss seeing 2 people who I have come to associate with these events. Now I look back at the post I can see that I could have expressed that feeling better but I didn't mean anything else by it.

I'm sure it will be a fantasic day and I'm also sure I'll enjoy it.

I'm sorry not to be going to Leeds to meet up with old friends, and I hope that everyone enjoys the event. Katyjay and I are both doing something else that day.

I do think it would definitely all work better if you brought your arms barry...

no fun, someone who is totally 'armless



hi C*P

Well, I was going to leave them at home, but your always wise advice has led me to conclude that I should bring them.

Now I'm going to turn on some Shakatak. I have a reputation to uphold. Not a stunningly great one, but there you go.

(sorry skylark...)

"Look, I see a body bearing Gama's arms.....
.... and now I look more closely, I see attached to it
King Gama's legs,
from which I gather this corollary, the body is King Gama's own..."


possibly a little mis-quoted

And now back to Leeds!

If anyone is a happy bathtub singer please do join in the community choir. The song is really easy, the arrangement my own and fun, and simple to sing. I will recruit lots of new singers on the day. If you would like a copy beforehand send me your email address and I will return it. If you have finale printmusic you can hear it too.

PS Is Batty going to be legless?

er...

Glad to hear Carl is coming after all..best get off here and practice before I go into panic mode...

Yes, I agree. Particularly as our duet is a form of gondoliers song, and I need you to row!
By the way, don't forget to pack the oars!


Possibly afterwards?
