Rehearsal files 

For those of you who use John F’s rehearsal files, you can get to the site by clicking here. There is a special page for Brockham with the rehearsal files on it for our forthcoming concert.  Simply type ‘Brockham’ in the Search box, click ‘Search’ and click on ‘Brockham Choral Society’ when the results come up. 

For Haydn’s “The Creation” you can also follow the sung parts on Chord Perfect by clicking here and then selecting ‘The Creation’.

Rehearsals

Tuesday rehearsals:  Please exit the school quickly at the end of rehearsals on Tuesdays as otherwise it delays the caretaker from locking up.

Rehearsal safety:  To help protect yourself and others, please do not come if you have any Covid-19 symptoms or if you have a cough or cold

Rehearsal etiquette:  Please do not chat during the rehearsal.  This distracts all those of us who are trying hard to learn and to listen to the Music Director.  Please also discourage your neighbour if they try to chat to you.  A listening choir is a learning choir.
There‘s plenty of opportunity for conversation before rehearsal and/or during the interval, or after rehearsal at the pub!

Fundraising

How does it work?
You shop directly with the retailer as you would normally, but you go via the easyfundraising site and use the links to take you to the retailer.  A percentage of whatever you spend comes directly to us at no extra cost to yourself (you can still get all the online discounts and savings you normally would).  You can download a special toolbar which will prompt you everytime you visit a site where a donation to the choir can be made, so you don’t even have to remember to go via the easyfundraising website.

How much can you raise?
Spend £100 with M&S online or Amazon and you raise £2.50 for us. £100 with WH Smith puts £2.00 in our pocket and so on.  There’s over 2,000 retailers on their site, and some of the donations can be as much as 15% of your purchase.  As well as retailers, you can buy broadband, mobile phones, insurance, travel, and lots of other services.

Easyfundraising is FREE to use, and you’ll get access to hundreds of exclusive discounts and voucher codes, so not only will you be helping us, you’ll be saving money yourself.
