CAROLS, Sunday 21 December, 10.30am & 7PM

We're planning to have choir and orchestra again this year for Carols on 21 December (10.30am & 7pm). All members of St John's are welcome to join, or to come and have a go:

• For singers, ability to read music or experience singing in a choir is helpful, but not necessarily essential
• For players, do speak to Craig, even if you haven't played for some time!

Rehearsals

• Carols on the Green (brass and singers) - Brass rehearsal tbc. Rehearsals for singers will be included in the Carols by Candlelight rehearsals.
  
• Carols by Candlelight (orchestra and choir) - Rehearsals (all 7.30-9.30pm except 28 Nov) as follows:
• Choir rehearsals - Fri 21 Nov, Fri 28 Nov (Sops and Altos 7.30-8pm, Full 8-9pm, Tenors and Basses 9-9.30pm), Tue 2 Dec, Tue 9 Dec.
• Orchestra only rehearsal - likely to be on Sat 22 Nov (check with Craig for details)
• Full rehearsals (orchestra and choir) - Mon 15 and Fri 19 Dec
• I'm afraid that inevitably there will be some clashes with some other church activities such as growth groups and Engage. As usual I've tried to avoid these as much as possible! Where there are clashes, I would generally encourage you to attend your growth group/Engage etc. as normal and try to make the other rehearsals. Feel free to chat to me about it!
• Christmas Day (orchestra and choir) - 10.30am service, 9.45am rehearsal

Youth Orchestra & Children's Choir

Music at St John's is a mixture of traditional and contemporary music, seeking to help all of us praise God and encourage one another. Music is generally led by singers with a band (generally made up of orchestral instruments, rhythm section and organ) - with musicians drawn from the church family. New musicians are always welcome - please get in touch using the form below.
