CHOIR LIST 44 (Capacity is technically 40 but hey!)

This day was over subscribed for Sopranos and Mezzos so it's been a tough task figuring this out fairly!! I've slightly based it on how many other gigs you're signed up for. For those people doing fewer gigs I've tried to get you into this, keeping Champneys and St Mary's in mind especially. If you didn't make it onto the list for either of them then I've hopefully made sure you're included for this one!!

If you are one of the people on the waitlist we have spaces on Sunday 21st December (for Sopranos especially), so let me know if you'd like to sing at that. Or if you hold tight I might be able to add you to this date if someone drops out.
