For those members and friends who know Vikki who used to sing with us here's some good news.

Vikki Ham (ex APC alto) now Gover gave birth to a baby girl on Friday 3rd April. The baby's name is Peta Sandra and weighed 2.94g. She is 48cm long and has blondy/brown spiky hair. She sleeps well. Luke has taken a week off to help out. Peta came three weeks early and poor Vikki was emailing work on instructions for her job as it was soooo sudden! If you want to contact Vikki call me as I'm not working at the moment.

Hi dear members of Sydney Pop Choir.
YOU WILL RECEIVE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE SYDNEY POP CHOIR CALENDAR ONCE THE EXTRA REHEARSAL DATE HAS BEEN DECIDED;;;;;;;;;;;;
SO IN THE MEANTIME....................here are some changes for your diary





Term 2 will commence on Monday 27th April @ 7.30pm. (this is not what the calendar indicates)

The mini CD launch scheduled for 31st May will NO LONGER take place on that date. We will probably launch the mini CD at our concert on the 14th June with Door In The Wall.

So remember to come back on April 27th.
Remember that 31 May will not be the CD launch.

Remember the extra rehearsal date will be decided on the 24th April when most members should have replied with their preferences.

HERE IS A MESSAGE FROM SALLY TO BE PASSED ON TO ALL CHOIR MEMBERS

In light of the fact we have a long weekend before our next concert, I'd like to schedule an extra rehearsal for Sunday 17th or Sunday 31st of May. Could we check everyone's availability and see which is the most viable.

Sally.


So could you please let me know which Sunday suits you best. Either the 17th or the 31st May. Please email sydneypopchoir@yahoo.com.au or text me on 0400497041.


Please let me know by April 24th as I think we should announce the date of the extra rehearsal at our first rehearsal in Term 2. I will let you know on the night how many votes were put forward for each date.

thanks

Well here we are at the end of our first term for 2009 - ending with the recording of three tracks for our CD.

It's been a busy term and we should all be proud of the work we've done and what we've achieved.

Have a good break, - for those of you travelling over Easter/School Holidays, have a safe journey.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday 27th April 2009 - ready to lunge into the next 3 tracks for our CD. Allentown, Yakkety Yak, Love For Sale.

a message from your musical director...
hooray for us!! a big congratulations to you all for the mammoth task we undertook yesterday. recording sessions are such hard work but well worth the effort, i think you'll agree. thank you all for rising to the occasion and engaging in the process with such enthusiasm and energy. when i looked out from the podium and saw so many smiles in front of me, it made me feel that it's all worthwhile. music and happiness, does it get much better than that?
daniel, our lovely recording engineer, said he really enjoyed working with such a happy bunch of people. and believe me, that is a fabulous compliment in the music industry, as so many musos take themselves far too seriously!! i have with me right now in my hot little hands, very rough stereo mixes of the takes we did... once i've listened through a few times, i'll be able to go back and edit it all together with daniel, after which we'll have the beginning of our fabulous cd. is the world ready for the sydney pop choir? well, we're coming anyway!
i trust you will all enjoy a well earned break. first rehearsal back next term, we'll be perfecting the next three songs i'd like to put on the cd "love for sale", "yakety yak" and "allentown". plus, i've got a couple of brand new songs up my sleeve too, but you'll have to wait till then to find out what they are ;)
a great big thank you group hug to everybody. "it's all about the music".
