There’s a reception upstairs for the chosen few; then they come downstairs and there’s a singalong.

We will be the warmup act before the singalong, as the audience is gathering! Plan to be there for 12noon; we’ll do a set 12:10-12:30-ish.

6: Ding dong merrily / 3: Carol of the bells / 15: Jingle bell rock

18: Lo how a rose / Concert rep: Jul, Jul / 26: De Virgin Mary / Concert rep: Night of Silence

CH p.37: O Christmas Tree / CH p.42 Jingle Bells

Once Malcolm Brodie gets to the piano at 12:30pm, it’s mostly singalonga – his harmony will often not fit with what you have written. Don’t worry too much about singing from the music; go for words and tune, and fake the harmony if needed!

Anyone who’s not doing either of these, I’ll see you at FRASERVIEW for the December 1 rehearsal!
