Calling all pianists.... piano.gif

The person who I'd offered the Finale piano part to has told me that they're not confident enough with it and would rather not do it after all. So I offered it to someone else but that person has probably not seen my message because they've not got back to me. In view of time passing, I think I'd better throw it open and ask any of the Leeds pianists if they would like to play the Finale part. There'll be 20-odd other people playing with you, so if you make a mistake, it probably won't be noticed biggrin.gif Please email me if you're interested!

And if nobody wants the piano part, it was an optional part anyway, so no worries smile.gif

Aww, sorry Daisy, someone took up the offer by email soon after I posted (although I've got to check with Barry that it won't affect the other parts)

I've emailed you smile.gif

Just so that nobody gets missed, it would be helpful if everyone who wants a lift from the station could either post or email me with their time of arrival, even if you've said the time way back on the thread. The station is Headingley Station, but if anyone has a problem with this, please let me know.

Thank you smile.gif

My train is due into Leeds at 9.35 so I should be able to get to Headingley at 10.06. Is anyone likely to be in the area at that time?

If it's going to take half-an-hour to get up to Headingley Station, I think I'll see if I can arrange collection from Leeds City Station as it will only take about 10 mins from Leeds Station by car. What time do you get into Leeds Station, sbhoa?

I'll see if St George can ride to the rescue again rolleyes.gif biggrin.gif

I know there's one or two other people arriving by train - I'll post to confirm the pick-up arrangements when I know what time their trains are arriving.

I'll keep this as a running list to remind me, and if I miss anyone off, please let me know!

Can't remember if I said but we are travelling by car, too difficult to bring Bari on the train. We planning to arrive by 9.30 all being well.

Recorder Group:

Simple soprano (descant ) part.
Baby bird
Amber.

Soprano
Carl
Looney Tunes
Mwl
Amy

Alto
Hillyb
Emily
Sbhoa?

Tenor

Phantasmagoriana
Batty

Bass
Willobie and possibly me if I don't play the harpsichord part.

Would one of the sopranos like to play bass?


Kazoo Band.

This will be very simple and a good fun item so bring your combs and papers or kazoos etc and have a bash on the day. You don't need to practise beforehand, and nor do you need to have passed any grades in the art of kazoo.

Choir.

This will be easy too so bring any voices that you have and expect to be recruited on the day. biggrin.gif

If you don't then Lidd will attack you with the duck end of her brolley! And Add will sing a longer song with lots of repeats!!!!

Sbhoa you can be my buddy especially as I'm feeling far from calm at the moment laugh.gif

If anyone wants to know who I am I'll be buddying ChrisH, trying hard not to go to the pub or get lost laugh.gif

Seriously if I can be of any help or support to anyone I'll possibly be in the kitchen in the morning.

Hi,

Is there anywhere at the college where I can warm up my voice in the morning without disturbing the peace and equilbrium(!) or should I do this before I arrive?
(I'm a bit concerned about disturbing other hotel guests if I start warbling too early).

PS. And my Frog will need to warm up too, but I can bring a lily pad from my pond for him so he'll be alright.

Hi Amber,

There are plenty of practice rooms around the college. I think skylark had a system last year for using them...not sure if the same thing applies this year. I'll need to warm up at some point too. smile.gif

*We'll have fun getting the male members warmed up smile.gif . One of them is a bit worried by the whole thing, so we'll have to be gentle!! wink.gif *

If possible I'd like to post it in advance but it depends on whether I can get it to St George in good time for him to do the necessary. If we do post it, it won't be until the last week anyway smile.gif


..... 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 wink.gif


St George is working on it at this very moment biggrin.gif Hopefully we'll be able to publish it today unsure.gif

One person owes me an email to say which of two pieces they've chosen, or whether they can fit both into the time slot rolleyes.gif
