Daytime Singing groups

The group called Daptones started up a couple of years ago at 

Sandra Hanson's place when some chorus members decided to form

 a daytime singing group that meets on Monday afternoons. 

This gives members a chance to work on chorus songs and 

vocal technique in a small group situation. 

They invited Jan along to help with this and a big improvement

 has been noticed in both individual voices and the confidence 

to sing in a smaller group where "there's nowhere to hide"! 

The four voice parts have usually been represented, 

but with Ginny moving to Perth this year 

we thought we may be without a tenor. 

However, Alison C has been able to start coming, so that is wonderful! 

Our regular attenders number around 12. 

Since Sandra left the chorus we have been meeting at 

Sue G's place at Horsley, to keep it in the same area. 

Here they are celebrating Christmas

 Friday singing at Pat's has been a popular addition 

to the "extra singing scene" since starting up over

 two years when we decided to give chorus members 

a chance to do some extra work on songs in
preparation for a trip to contest. 

We have a group of around 10 regulars but we often

 have other chorus members coming along to join in when they can. 

Unfortunately we rarely have a tenor along on Fridays, 

but we manage pretty well without. 

Pat always provides some afternoon tea so it has 

become a social occasion as well where we can have a chat 

and get to know each other better. 

The range of topics discussed over that cuppa on a Friday 

                      is always very interesting!                     Jan
