A new Community Choir, based at Horn Park, formerly the Old Colfeians’ Club, has been set up in the last few weeks aimed at those who enjoy singing but may not have any experience with choirs or performing.
Colfe’s Drama Teacher, Richard Gregg, who is organising this new venture, hopes that it will encourage many more people to take up singing and complement the successful choirs that Colfe’s already runs in school.
Richard said “I’m very pleased with the level of interest so far but there is always room for more. We hope that parents and other relatives will come along and join members of the community and just ‘give it a go’. There is no requirement to read music or to have any previous experience.
“We are working on a range of music from show tunes to pop and gospel, so hopefully there is something for everyone. This is open to everyone, not restricted to Horn Park members or Colfe’s parents. There is a small charge of £3 per session which includes your coffee/tea! The Colfe’s ‘family’ has always been very much rooted in the community and this is a great chance to be part of something progressive and fun.”
The Choir will meet on a Wednesday evening from 7.45pm. Anyone wishing to join please contact rgregg@colfes.com
