Radio Performance
Today I had a phone call from Anne O'Keefe from 612 ABC radio. Our performance for Friday the 20th of August is confirmed! We'll be recorded and broadcast live on the radio sometime between 7:30 and 8am. Tell your friends to listen!
Here are the details.
When : Friday 20th August
Where : Old music room
Time : 7am sharp!!! Sound check is 7:15am. (If you are late, you won't be able to sing. Sorry.)
Wear : Tartan uniform
Have a drink of water and a piece of fruit at home before you come. Remember: No milk before singing! I thought we might have breakfast together afterwards. Do any mums or dads want to help organise breakfast? Email me if you do. aandsricho [at] optusnet.com.au
In the next week we need to finalise the piece we'll be performing. I'll also schedule an extra practice or two. Make sure you know everything we've been working on, especially 'Long White Sails' and 'the Cat Came Back.'
New choir members - you can listen to Long White Sails here (there's 2 minutes of talking before they start singing). I'll try to get some words up in the next few days.

This one still needs lots and lots of work!
I might re-record it every few weeks so we can see how we improve.

Performance details for Thursday 5th August
Hi Choir.
I still don't have final details for Thursday, but here's how things stand at the moment.
What is happening on Thursday 5/8/2010?
EJ is having an open day for new families who are coming to the school next year. There will be lots of pre-preppies and a few older kids and their mums and dads. The open day begins at 9am with a meeting in the hall. The prep choir is singing early in the program, there are teachers and parents talking, then we'll be singing at the end. I'm guessing, but we might be on at around 10 or 10.15.
My mum and dad want to come and watch me sing. Can they?
Of course they can. We'd love to have them! But we will be doing bigger and better performances later in the semester, so don't worry if they can't make it to this one.
Will I miss out on heaps of school on Thursday morning?
You will miss out on some, but not heaps (sorry!) I'll send a message around to your classes about 15 minutes before we're on and we'll meet and get organised.
What will we be singing?
I haven't been told yet if they want one or two songs, so we need to have 2 songs ready. They are: The Cat Came Back and Close Every Door. If you are new to choir this term, it is your responsibility to make sure you know them both off by heart. Scroll down and you can listen to the songs.
When will we rehearse?
There will be a practice in school time on Wednesday. I'll let you know exactly when and where as soon as it's sorted.
How early do I need to be at school on Thursday?
8:25 would be great. Meet us in the hall.
What should I wear?
Wear your tartan uniforms please!
I have a question. How can I ask it?

My dog flew to the moon last night and I miss her. What should I do?
Fly to the moon to see her. Just make sure you're back at school for our choir practice on Wednesday.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
You sounded fantastic this morning.
Mrs. Richardson.

Close Every Door
Close every door to me
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me
Hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
far from this world
Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find
My own piece of mind
For I have been promised a land of my own
Just give me a number
instead of my name
Forget all about me
and let me decay
I do not matter
I'm only one person
Destroy me completely
and throw me away
If my life were important
I would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
far from this world
Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For we know we shall find
Our own piece of mind
For we have been promised a land of our own
Song for the Mira
This is a very old recording of this song (see what they're wearing!), but the choir sings beautifully. What do you think?
