Let’s try to arrive by 7.15pm so we can set the chairs out – I want you to be seated correctly before we start – it’s important because the sound will be very different for you.

If you’re unable to make this rehearsal, please let someone you sit near know – they can save your chair for you and I can see where the gaps are. We’ll be practicing standing up and sitting down so that we look the part.

I’m pulling Hark the Herald Angels out – we haven’t had the time to practice it properly.

We’ll go through the first part of the set list. No lyrics please.

Part 1

2000 miles

Away in a manger

Somewhere only we know

Winter Wonderland

Break – make sure we are confident with these songs. If there’s anything to go over, let’s sort it!

Spaceman came travelling – let have a go at this with Tim.

Break.

Back on it for Part 2

White winter hymnal

Carol of the bells

When a child is born

Last Christmas

Underneath the tree

Are we confident with these songs too? Do we need to go over any of the bits again?

We’ll end with our favourite song – the one we can show off the best with xxx
