The beginning.....
Our Chorus formed in
January 2000 with 9 members, we are now members of the national Ladies
Association of British Barbershop Singers (LABBS). We
hope to continue improving our performance and ranking within the
association but that doesn't
interfere with having a good
time!
Our
members.....
We have 25
members now with a wide
range of jobs, ages and interests within our chorus and this makes
for a great exchange of ideas and nurtures support for one another.
The one thing
which we have in common is of course our love of 4-part
harmony! There is nothing quite like hitting the right note
with the correct intonation and hearing that chord ring out!
The chorus has a
music team which works hard to learn new songs from 4 part
learning tapes/c.d.'s. Hopefully this helps the chorus to
learn the numbers more easily and to enjoy the process! We
book coaching from the LABBS association to assist with improving our
singing and presentation. All in all we strive to help our
chorus improve whilst
singing and sharing with others. Most importantly enjoying ourselves! Sometimes it gets hectic but
the rewards are worth it!
There is still room for
a few more members so hurry along, we'd love to share our hobby with
you! Click the come and join us link on the left!
The Music
Team....
Sara Jackson is
our MD, she is a very talented musician who gives us the benefit of
the doubt and says we are
fab!
 She
is very easy to bribe as you can see from a before and after
chocolate presentation!
 Sara regularly updates her
knowledge by attending coaching sessions provided by LABBS and BABS,
she passes this new knowledge on to our chorus at rehearsals and hopefully we respond and improve!
Lindsey Kendall is training to be our
assistant MD. She is attending Harmony Workshops and
Fellowship of Directors College to gain experience and she is doing
great!
Joy
Clark, our Treasurer is also the Bass
Section Leader, what would we do without her!
Catherine
Gordon - Our 'Madam Chair' is also our Lead section leader and she gets us
warmed up with some fun musical exercises to start our evening!
The tenor section
has Judith Medlock to support them and
Karen Lewis is
the Baritone Section Leader!
