Maindee Festival 2010

Cascapella performed at the 2010 Maindee Festival in the Garden Stage area. The theme of the festival this year was "Water is Life", therefore our attire and song choices were designed to reflect this theme.

Easter Break

Mon, 03/15/2010 - 10:12 — abarnes

Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware (remembers) that there will be no meetings over the Easter period.

The choir will break for Easter for two weeks, which means there will be no choir on Thursday1st and 8th April 2010.

Have a great weekend and don't eat too many chocolate eggs :)

Cascapella Welcomes New Members

Fri, 02/26/2010 - 13:48 — Geraldine Powell

I just thought I would take another opportunity to welcome any new members that have recently joined the choir, but also to encourage anyone thinking of becoming involved to give us a try!

We are a friendly, fun and enthusiastic group of people who come together to enjoy a common love of singing and music and we are always on the lookout for potential new people to make it even more enjoyable.

Family Lantern Parade - Thursday 26th November 2009

Fri, 11/20/2009 - 09:27 — Geraldine Powell

Hi everyone,

Further to this evening's discussion, Helen came up with the very brilliant and practical idea that we should simply meet at the Adult Education Centre on Charles Street for our warm up at 6:15pm on the 26th November 2009. From there, we can simply mosey on down to John Frost Square to sing at whatever time is applicable for the weather conditions.

We also thought that we could pay our normal subs and then make our way back to Baneswell Community Centre for the remainder of the time following the performance.

Please see details of the Family Lantern Parade that will be taking place on
Thursday 26th November 2009. I hope you can make it. I am still waiting to
hear from the Riverfront with regard to using the basement for a practice
before we perform.

Sarah has very kindly added Gaudete and Farewell My Friends to our song list.

To listen to these you can find them in the standard place (under "Listen" tab at the top of the page) or attached to this story. In both cases you will need to be logged into the site.

Kind Regards
