Mark and I arrived and thought that our job was done as the staging was out already! But it turned out it had been put up incorrectly, so the first job was to dismantle the staging and put it back in place with the right tiers so the audience could see the choir. We moved the alter out of the way to make space for the orchestra, and finally set out all the chairs. With that the stage was set, and after Julie's second task of the day it was straight out for a well deserved lunch.

Stage set and ready for Kingston Choral Society.

30 chairs to a stack North, South,East, West Put the pews correctly back For the choir have sung their best.

Today we helped Kingston Choral Society set up the stage and chairs for their performance. Rachel, Jane and Petra met up with the lovely Dee who did her first task today! Welcome to GoodGym - hope to see you again soon.

Normally this report would be full of muscical puns, but this composer is widely known to be tone deaf, so the pitch maybe a bit off. With a large contingent from Kingston Coral Society and a duet of Goodgymers the stage and chairs went up, an octave, in record timing.

Jane, Sabri, Rachel & Jassy pitched in to prepare St Marks church hall for the Kingston Choral concert. Firstly the staging needed putting together, requiring brains and brawn to heft the pieces into place and decipher the notation of the various parts. Once complete, it ascended like a major scale to host the choir at different levels. Next we 'transposed' chairs from the front to the back of the hall and placed the grand piano in the space created. We finished up filling the stage with seats for the choir, as music isn't complete without some well-timed rests. Our thanks to the task owners who were friendly and a pleasure to assist. Hopefully the performance went well!
