Help! What am I going to do with on singing over the summer break?
When I started my first community choir way back in 1997 I used to worry that if the choir closed over the summer holidays, none of the singers would come back in September! So I ran short summer courses to keep the singers happy. Over time I realised that I was simply running myself ragged (I needed a break too!), and if the singers love coming to choir, a few weeks’ break won’t make any difference. Besides which, many singers go away on holiday over the summer too.
