LYRICS / FOLDERS

Ideally if you can be off lyrics that'd be great. If you do need a folder, please use a black one and still do your best to learn as many lyrics as possible. Upbeat songs especially with clapping are best to focus on, so you can have fun and not worry about reading words!

GETTING ON STAGE

Our recent Centenary concert was MAGNIFICENT with one issue: It took about 5 mins to move 10m into position onstage! I've done the maths: 0.07mph!! This means if we'd have been racing a two-toed sloth we would've lost. Cute stat: YES 🦥 🥰 Good stat: NO 😜 So this time, to avoid traffic jams please know you don't need to move in single file! Flood onstage. There's plenty of room. If you're slower moving that's always okay. We've got all ages and mobilities and that's not a problem. We just need to avoid moving in single file as last time there were lots of traffic jams (and some lengthy gaps where no one appeared for ages!!). This time: We flood on. I'll make sure there's plenty of light. Thanks everyone. GO TEAM!!
