The title of this posting is a quote from an upcoming addition to our performance repertoire and many readers will be able to "name that tune" immediately, others might take a moment of two, but either way, it sums up how most of the gang felt this afternoon.
This after a gruelling day locked in the Bradstone Pavilion at the sports ground just on the edge of our lovely village. Here the blokes undertook an intense 6 hour "Boot Camp" led by our belovéd ChoirMeister that involved a good deal of honing pieces we have been performing for a while and today gave us a chance to finally tidy them up and also nail a couple of newies.
These new pieces that have finally passed the various "quality thresholds" (such as the majority of the blokes remembering the majority of the words the majority of the time) and are due to be unleashed on the world in less than a week's time at our gig at The Convent. Who knows, by then, the extra practice everyone will be doing by themselves this week might mean they can even do the dance steps!
As you can see from the studied concentration of the fellows in the photo (borderline exhaustion of some) it is an indication of how serious the blokes are taking current preparations, in particular that we held the session in the Pavilion rather than our usual haunt of The White Hart Back Room. No half time pints of frothing ale for (most of) the blokes today - too much that required much concentration.
Another really good day spent on another one of our adventures as we prepare for the next Big Gig, live and streaming across the internet.
