CHOIR LIST 136
We've got a massive choir for this, which for the organisers of this event is WONDERFUL. It means we'll make a really full sound and create a really big moment for their event!! I'm conscious though in a big group like this, some people standing near the back might feel a bit away from the action. I've been speaking with the organisers and the plan is to hopefully sing on and around the steps near where we usually sing. This will give us some natural height and allow everyone to see me and the audience!! Anyone who needs to be at ground level still can be!!
