Jen did a jolly warmup and we all sounded and looked silly as usual

kiisu-miser:

a song about cats catching partridges and slaves and sticks and stuff.
keep chords accurate and purring soft
Ollie is our chief cat

Laulda teile laulake:

Anne is singing us a little song. It is apparently all about infants with horns and milk...hmmm...intriguing!
went through pronunciation which is largely unimportant or the rest of us except for the altos who come in for the final line.
Remember to break where there is a break (bar6)
Breathe quietly and if you can't then don't breathe at all.

Taevased kosilased:

another jolly Tormis song
Ask about the splits...I lost track of how the boys were splitting.
Sops watch final bar of second page and watch split at the end

Gaelic set:

how jolly!

Les Chansons des roses:

watch the rall and a tempo.
Ollie asked for a quieter sound while keeping it light and bouncy.
p at the start
Make sure you make the jumps and don't swoop about.
Bar 11- get off quick
The middle section should be legato with clear distinctions between notes

Envoi:

bar 27 soft oh was

That's it...no jokes or quips or humorous comments. So...I will do what I always do in such situations- find a decent pirate joke...there are a surprising amount of these actually

What do you get in you cross a pirate with a courgette?
A Squashbuckler

Oh come on, that's quite good. I was going to tell this one...
What has 12 arms and 12 legs?
12 pirates

Bet you're glad I didn't

Felicitations
