2017

We will be performing the Puccini

Richard feels we should branch our more in terms of music, so one major concert a year, to focus on the Choral Society. He thinks we should semi move away from the idea that everyone has to be a part of everything. As well as adding in some easier music for the choir.

Phillip wants to connect the society and the shows more.

Richard will be looking at finding music for Duke Ellington

Possibility of a children’s choir
