Well - its the day before and I'm practising the singing and moves like mad. Much thanks to a Rock Choir leader who agreed to video said moves for those of us who are challenged in the co-ordination stakes.
Will it beat the record? - after checking Google and I hope this is right the current holders are Sweet Adelines International who are an organisation of female barbershop music singers based in Tulsa, Oklahoma who in 2009 achieved the record with 6,651 participants - so we need to beat that number.
Our choirs will be heading to the Jimmy Ireland Rugby Stand - High School of Glasgow in Anniesland so I've worked out travel and train times to get there in time for an 11am start.
This is to get us in the right place; to be counted in and have one/two rehearsals in readiness for the UK world record attempt to start at 12.00pm.
I'll let you know how it goes - and now back to practising!
It sounds as if it will be amazing fun, even if the record doesn't get broken, but I hope it does. Enjoy it, and tell us all about it afterwards. J x
ReplyDeleteIt was great fun and meeting people from other Glasgow choirs - the teens were brilliant.
DeleteGood luck. Look forward to hearing whethr you got the record.
ReplyDeleteNot had it confirmed yet will update - should know at rehearsal tomorrow.
DeleteWow - Celia, I feel I should be there, given where you are singing! I would love it and will be thinking about you with fingers crossed. Axxx
ReplyDeleteWeather turned against us and so we were moved indoors - a bit warmer at any rate. I've post a you tube of the song.
DeleteHi, I found your blog today... I too attempted the record with our Banbury, Brackley, Bicester & Oxford Rock Choir groups. Looking forward to hearing the result x
ReplyDeleteHi there,
DeleteMe too - I've not heard yet. It was great fun. I only started with the choir this session and I'm enjoying it. We were moved inside as the weather turned against us.
