We were asked to help put on a concert at Trinity Church as a fundraiser and so we teamed up with the lovely Exaltation Choir, another lovely Halstead group, to perform a series of Christmas favourites!
What an excellent way to finish the season!
Our favourite time of year wouldn’t be complete without our own Christmas Concert. Once again we were back with the Halstead Dementia Choir as guest singers – they brought the house down as usual!
Here we are with our pre-show photo ritual!
And here we are on stage!
And here are a couple of shots with the DFC!
We are back for the first time since the pandemic to sing at the Trinity Reception for the Christmas Lights Switch on at Halstead Christmas Fayre!
Fully back in the swing of things, our Summer Concert was a huge success…
Here is our pre-show ritual of our group photo…
And then the concert!
And we are back with a bang! Our first concert back since the extended break due to Covid. And back at a new venue! We moved to The Empire Theatre September 2023, and this was our first concert on our new stage…
You’ll notice the audience are all standing – it was Carol Singing time! We may be in a new venue, but we still made sure the audience got their annual singlaong with us!
Unknown to us, this was to be our last concert at Ramsey – and our last concert for a few years! Covid was just around the corner, and we would be singing on Zoom for a while… but we kept going!!
This was also the concert Sam had to conduct the entire two-hour performance with a baby in a sling, as the youngest member of the choir just would not settle with anyone else!!
One of our favourites for the year – the Reception at Trinity following the Christmas Lights Switch on at the Halstead Christmas Fayre!
It’s chilly, but fabulous!
A chilly night at Carols on the Green, Colne Engaine.
On Wednesday 29th June the choir were delighted to be asked to perform as guests at the Ramsey Academy music and dance evening ‘All That Jazz’.
Here is the choir just about to go on and perform:
On Sunday 12th June we sang at the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations in the public gardens in Halstead.
