Christmas concert

My daughter and I took part in the "Haynes Christmas Concert" this afternoon in aid of the Savannah Education Trust. The "scratch" orchestra was made up of 68 musicians, old and young. Some of us older ones only pick up our instruments once a year for this event and for some of the very youngest it is their first opportunity to play with a group of musicians. We meet for a short rehearsal and then play to an audience of about 150 people. This year we also attempted singing the Hallelujah Chorus with only one practice run through before hand - it sounded quite good I thought!

A nice way to start the Christmas celebration. The children are now wanting to put the tree up and next week will bring Carol services and the end of school term.
