Rehearsals
All Wednesday rehearsals will be in the Chipping Norton Town Hall from 7:30 – 9:30 pm.
Wednesday 20th March – Deddington
A reminder for you all that this Wednesday’s rehearsal takes place at the church in Deddington, not in Chipping Norton. Rehearsal timings are the same as normal 7.30 – 9.30 pm. Please arrive promptly for a 7.30 pm start so we can sort out seating arrangements as well.
St Peter & St Paul’s Church
Deddington
OX15 0TG
The church is in the middle of Deddington and floodlit, so it’s easy to find. There is parking all around the green and nearby streets, but if you can lift share that will make things easier.
We will confirm all the final details for next Sunday at the rehearsal on Wednesday but a couple of key points in advance;
Concert dress – all black with a splash of colour of your choice (bow tie, tie, scarf, hair band, brooch, necklace)
Running order – Shearing ‘Songs and Sonnets; jazz set by the Karen Sharp quartet; interval of around 25 minutes, followed by Todd ‘Mass in Blue’
