Mid Term Break
We are now back from our mid term break and ready and willing for more rehearsals. At some time soon someone is going to say in panic-stricken tones " We only have three weeks to Vienna!" and then all hell will break loose.
Some members went to hear the National Concert Hall Choir singing in Rowe St Church as part of the Wexford festival. They are a professional group who come together occasionally as a choir and are superb. We could pick up a few tips from them. I noticed that almost all of them had tuning forks which they used ostentatiously during the singing. Real Class ! I think we should all get tuning forks. It would be a brave adjudicator who would question our pitch if we were all waving tuning forks at him.
I also noticed that they seemed to have a male alto as part of their line-up. And why not ?

Hi John
Just to follow up on your search for a male alto! I'm certain that the alto section would have no difficulty whatsoever in welcoming a male alto to the ranks.However I would have to point out before any search begins that after our adjudication in Sligo last year, that the main requirements to make it into our alto section is that the male must be both sexy and sensuous! Good luck with the search!!! Annette
I expect that requirment eliminates the entire tenor section.
