Downton Community Choir Needs You!!
You’ve enjoyed us at a variety of village events, but possibly, not for much longer, as we really need some more singers.
We meet every Tuesday in term time, 7.30 – 9pm, upstairs at Downton Baptist Church, and we are open to all, from 13 – 113.
You do not have to be able to read music, and there is no audition. Just come along and see what you think.
We represent good value for money; about £30 per term (which can be paid by the session) which covers the lovely singing venue, the music/words and the leader of the choir, Sarah Collins, not to mention all the known benefits of singing:-
- improved aerobic activity which improves your cardiovascular system
- stress reduction and even improved neurological functioning.
And of course, there is nothing like singing for generating the feelgood factor!
We hope to see (and hear!) you soon!
