Joan plays the flute in the Dunbartonshire Big Band Christmas Concert

The Dunbartonshire Concert Band (DCB) is a community wind orchestra. It was formed in 1973 and exists to give an outlet to the musical talents of amateur wind, brass and percussion players of all ages.
Last Thursday they held a Christmas Concert in Cairns Church Milngavie and Joan Gemmell (one of our Enjoy Music members) was part of that band as was Derek Galloway (Douglas Park) who provided our Christmas lunch last week.
Joan had a solo flute part in one of the carol's and the whole concert was terrific. To listen to a short video from the evening click on the card below

Christmas songs and Lunch

The last session of the year was held today and Moira was presented with a large ponsettia flower at coffee break.
We then went to Douglas Park Golf Club to have our "Christmas Lunch" and our singing continued.
Here are some photos from the day

A Grey Winter Morning

Getting the energy flowing is not so easy at this time of year --- grey mornings and throat and sinus bugs doing their best to hold us down. But after warming up to the music of two soaring flutes followed by a gypsy circle dance, (too much hilarity,) the limbs loosened up and the voices began to come through.
After singing SENJUA with harmonies, we explored a drum and percussion accompaniment, which actually began to groove as one by one we settled into the rhythms, feeling the enjoyment of rhythm and melody coming together. More of that next week.
BOOMFALLERA is sounding more secure ---- we are even now trying different instrumental parts, finding the second easier to learn than the first.
By the end of the morning, when we sang the Carol of the Advent right through, the voices were making a good sound.
Next week is our last before the Christmas break and is followed by lunch at Douglas Park.
