Returning from the blogging grave
Hello after God knows how long I am finally breaking my blogger silence. Well mainly i'm doing it so the first thing you see on this blog is not the hideous video of some hopeless rock star wannabe.
Anyway we should make this page more hip, more chutzpah! As in make this page more reader friendly. Maybe Joey should offer to strip for the site and generate more hits. Or Jasper can post instructional articles on the optimal size of your mouth to better facilitate singing.
In any event, we've been around for like a year half now? We've done a couple of good things in that time and we've dragged ourselves to a somewhat respectable level. Granted, we're nowhere near where we want to be, but its good that we're taking baby steps along the way. And so as our dream began, hopefully one day we can come to the fulfillment of that dream and make this bloody experiment our day jobs.
I know we don't have serious practices but i love it that way. Trust me, i know deep down, maybe deep deep deep down for some of us, we are serious about this and serious about what we do. Let's keep it going ya, bring the fun into music, and going by some of the jokes we tell, put the sin into singing!
Many of us have been singing a long time now. We know its not gonna be easy, especially as no one gives a flying fish about us and wait for us to collapse on our fat faces (some noticeably getting fatter). We also know that building a sound is not gonna happen overnight. We will not get suckered into setting a target for musical excellence. But bear with me little islanders, and stay patient, one day, as sure as Newcastle will someday win the league, we will get there. No pressure ya?
Stay true, work hard and try remember your music theory. Next time correct answers may get chocolate! I'll study hard too so we can learn new stuff and hopefully become better singers and musicians every week! Keep tagging keep singing! Though not like the nutcase in the video bellow, most unhealthy for the voice...

Saturdays timing: 9.45am to 1.30pm
Sunday timing: 1.30pm to 5pm

Hey, for those who missed out on last week's practice on the 30th March. This is what we discussed.
1. Places to inquiry about gigs for the end of the year.
Yup, so these people are to follow up by around late July to early August after we have done our recording. Which brings us to our next point.
2. Demo-Recording which would be done in

4 hours each,
over 5 weekends.
This was the plan for LIV on the 9th of March.
-Singing in the preferred section.
-Listen more sing less
-Cheryl's Solfege
-Mark's Music Theory
-We are to be first an ensemble choir (to get our foundations right)
- And lastly our Goal to
Soloists Voice
No hiding behind others
Thank you Jasper for sending me the mins.
