Here are the notes from the last rehearsal which startred with a doo whop ,doo boo doo warm up, sorry doo bee doo warm up from Sebastien. Snap those fingers!

J'ai Ceulli etc
More phrasing made a big difference to this song.
Sing in a more focused way and listen to each other
Because the parts overlap soloists and chorus should prepare their notes in advance. We will sing it slightly faster in performance.
Proninciation and spilling neads sum attenshun
R's should be rolled preferably-----T's should be soft Gaelic/Gallic ones--entre not entray.
The repeated phrase should be quieter. Follow the phrasing in the score.

Puddock (Frog Song)
First time through Ollie's reaction was "Horrible"
Spent a lot of time from Bar 31 onwards and realising it was supposed to sound discordant, but in the correct way.
Feethers not feathers.

Varwinder Friska
Well Done. Bit of a Rit and the end.

Son a Chistre
Robin and Chris's verse went well and so did Sebastien on John's verse.
Pronunciation- Remember the T on Mat (soft T), ev is eu, A not Ha, don't miss off the consonants at the ends of words, Roll the R's.
Fortunately Mirren returned to correct our French Pronunciation.
