Dear All,
I hope everyone has been enjoying a really wonderful half-term. We have been
very lucky with the weather and I've spent most of the week in our garden.
You are all most welcome to come and visit us, so if you plan to spend a day
on Camber Sands, you probably pass within 100 yards of our house during the
journey, so leave time to drop in and see us!
Nigel Bailey, the organiser of WESTERHAM MUSIC DAY, wrote to thank us all
for taking part. They were "delighted by the spirit of the choir and hope
they will continue to entertain us in the future." It was a very successful
day and raised a lot of money for the St Mary's Westerham Heritage Trust.
The second half of our term is short and sharp.
Saturday 12 June is our last rehearsal at Solefield School as we have
performances the following two Saturdays.
SEVENOAKS SUMMER FESTIVAL DAY is Saturday 19 JUNE and we will perform as
usual outside the Black Boy Inn - Bligh's Meadow from 10 - 11 am. We meet at
9.30 in that spot and get ourselves organised and warm up. Hopefully the sun
will shine on us and we will perform "Into the Musical Box." The organisers
will make provision for our performance to go ahead even if it's raining, so
please assume it's on, whether it rains or shines!
SEVENOAKS SUMMER FESTIVAL CONCERT - FAREWELL TO ANTHONY - SATURDAY 26 JUNE
AT 7.30 pm in The Drive Methodist Church, Sevenoaks. This is a combined
concert with the adult choir and we shall be rehearsing at 5.30 pm in the
church. (No morning rehearsal at Solefield School). Between the rehearsal
and the concert, there will be a tea provided for the children in the church
hall. I believe that the adult choir is planning to make this a rather
special tea, to mark my departure. Further information about the concert
and tickets for this concert are available from the Sevenoaks Summer
Festival box office. Of course the children won't need tickets for the
concert but may I suggest that parents book up as soon as possible? I hope
this will be an incredibly special finale to my time with the Sackville
choirs.
Please wear usual concert clothes (ie dark shoes - no trainers please! -
dark trousers or skirts and plain, and brightly coloured t-shirts or blouses
without logos.
Please remember that no one should drive into Solefield School grounds. It
really is dangerous if lots of cars come in and try turning round when there
are so many children around. Please make sure that the children come to
choir and get home safely.
If anyone hasn't paid this term's sub., please do so as soon as possible and
I attach the sub form for your completion. I should point out that next term
there will be a small increase in the termly sub.. This hasn't been
increased for many, many years, but next term, it will become £40 for
singing and £10 for drama, being a total of £50 per term.
Finally, thank you to Sofia Pesic's mother, Daloni Carlisle, for placing
such a nice article about me in the current edition of The Vine magazine. It
has been amazing to work with so many young people in Sevenoaks over the
last twenty years. What talent there is and how lucky I have been to give so
many young people their first taste of public performing. Of course I shall
miss you all but hope that you will stay in touch and that I shall be able
to come and hear you in concert in the future. I know the choir will
continue to thriver under the leadership of Jozik Kotz. It has been my good
fortune to have had the support of Nick Quiney for many years and I am very
glad that he will continue in his role as choir accompanist with Jozik.
Thank you also to Olivia Ward for her help with playground supervision and
to Janneke Dupre, and her mother Clare, for all they have contributed to the
choir. I could not have done anything without the support of my wife and
family, so thank you, Jane, Ben, Hannah and Rachel! It has been a real team
effort.
Happy singing!
Anthony
