Easter 2004

On Tuesday 15^th June, we had our very own garden party, once again in Selwyn Gardens.
On Friday 30^th April we had our belated Lent Term conert in Selwyn Hall. It was a fantastic concert with a packed audience and was enjoyed by all, performers included!
At some point during the term, I'm sure we all went out for a nice meal together in Pizza Express. I seem to remember it was a great time!

Lent 2004

WiM (Rise and Shine) was in Hull this year, from the 3^rd to the 10^th of April. For those that don't know, WiM is a week when all members of Revelation choirs across the country get together. We learnt some fantastic songs and had great fun. Accommodation was, as usual, basic but that just added to the fun. There were also workshops, splinter groups (dance, drama and band) and smaller groups to get to know others. At the end we put on a big concert. It was all absolutely amazing and so much fun. Everybody should come next year. For more info, speak to our national rep, Andy.
'Rejoice!: A Gospel Choir Workshop' took place on Saturday 7^th February from 2-4:30pm in the Guildhall. This was an afternoon open to absolutely everyone, not just for our regular singers. We learnt a bit about singing, gospel singing and what some of the words we sing actually mean. We also learnt some songs that we sung in the evening before one of the Christian Union's PROMISE talks. It was great fun.

Michaelmas 2003

A classic Rev Curry at the Mahal. A great way to spend a Friday night!
From the 14^th-16^th November was the Southern Weekend Away, held at short notice in Queen Edith's Chapel, in south-east Cambridge. Good fun was had by all: singing, playing games and getting to know others from Southern choirs.
End-of-term concert! 25^th November, 11pm, in the ADC Theatre. We rocked!

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." Colossians 3:12–14
