performance |
1 Practice will be followed by
the Annual Wedding "Fest" - starting a little after 8:00pm.
This is where couples
from the Benefice churches in the coming year meet to discuss wedding
music options with the choirmaster and the Rector. Choir members usually
remain for a short while and sing examples of hymns and anthems. This
clashes with the COMIC performances - it would be appreciated if all
possible could be there.
2 This clashes with
performances of 'Joseph and his amazing, techni-colour Dreamcoat' at St.
Cassian's, Chaddesley Corbett
HG unavailable.
3 This in Maundy Thursday.
St. Leonard's holds a
service at 7:30pm followed by the stripping of the church of all
vestments and symbols, and then holding a Vigil until Good Friday.
Any rehearsal would have to be earlier in the evening.
If there are alterations or additions to
this schedule they will be added to the list above. Please pay return
visits to check.
