Faust: Soldiers’ Chorus

Need to explain it as a historic piece, representing values of the time.

Agreed that we might ‘tweak’ a few words, but don’t want to be too P C.

Explore the “Oh Jemima” comic alternative as an adjunct.

Anne

Next Year

Can’t do Mamma Mia.

Ideally, we need a musical which involves the choir, both male and female.

Andy is exploring Beauty and the Beast, and will get a copy of the stage version.

All of us to keep an eye and ear out for possible musicals!

December Concert

Possibly a concert of two halves, with the choir performing the first half and the second half being a singalong with the audience being supplied with words.

Next Concert

Aim for a concert at Rocky Bay on 2^nd September then Artworks on Saturday 9^th (evening) and Sunday 10^th September (matinee).

Need to check whether Artworks is free.

Andy is contacting David.
