It's a new staff choir project I am trying to put together for the end of term. The idea is all the other teachers sing to mask my awful singing. See I thought I'd get that in first Paperchase to save you the trouble :)
I think it's best not to rush back to school, better to wait until we can go back properly and actually can teach again - right are well all set for SBN everyone
I was briefly in school for a couple of Fridays (very enjoyable with small classes and nice kids - teachers dream) and then we went into lockdown again because of the Leicester spike
By the way, if you haven't seen it yet do have a look at our latest Virtual Performance video, Sway, I think it came out quite well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laRJ4EkQaHE
Carol, you had clearly opened that bottle before Allan shared his good news, we might have to discuss that later... but Y and I will still raise a glass for you Allan!!
I had a bizarre brush with history today, was liaising with the Music Service about our year 6 musicians and working with them to make sure all the secondary schools they go to next year know about what instruments they play. I got included in an email sent to Carlton Le Willows in Nottingham, and it would appear that the Head of Music there is the same chap who taught me in West Bridgford 20 years ago!! He hasn't replied to my email yet, but it reminds you what a small world we live in!
Night all. See you next week
Night everyone. See you next week 🎷🎼
night all
I'll tell you what Terry, if we ever do it in concert you can play the last note for me!
Night all from me and Y, take care and see you all soon.
Night all
Night All, have a good week
See you next time

OK OK I am playing
Thanks everyone and thanks JB. 'See

I'll say goodnight now. Faith's making me a cup of tea to have once we've finished playing. Have a good week everyone
Thank goodness. I was on bar 8 when the tune had finished😂
ppinched? itwas solen
Can we finish with Louie Louie and La Bamba in your own time please everyone
Terry I got the top F at the end, but it was a bit pinched! Still needs work.
Also you'll all be pleased to know I am not playing it as fast as TD. I lost at least 2 beats on him by E, so that's a fraction slower for you :)
Some people have all the luck😂
Oh dam
Oh hi Chris, that was convenient you missed Tromboneology!!
I am back, computer decided to do an update
probably not until september
Paul, have you had any updates from the village hall about when they might reopen?
Okay everyone's new favourite band piece next please, can we try Tromboneology at 8.14
Hi everyone - what have I missed?

Okay, are we all ready with the Rhumba?
Not a big sop, just a little me
Thought it looked nice and shiny
Never seen such a big sop!
Haha
It was okay when I put it in the washing machine
Not sure what was wrong with it ...
Ooh someone's straightened out your sax!
