The 12 Blogs of New Year 2020: Day 11, Piping Up!

It's late, very late...   ...in fact Day 11 in our series of New Year blogs to celebrate the start of New Year 2020, the new decade and the start of our 10th Anniversary Year.  In the process, we hope you have had a bit of an insight into our first 10 years and have enjoyed a glimpse at what's going on at the moment in the life of Norwich's Phoenix Male Voice Choir!

And that's the point of our Day 11 message - as a Choir, our rehearsal endeavours are all rather pointless if we don't keep our audience and supporters in touch with what is going on and don't keep our singing membership at the centre of our plans.  That's why we try to be level minded about the various ways we communicate with everyone and why we are 'piping up' about it!   So, you should know the drill by now...   ...everyone, on the count of 3...!   ...a-1, 2, 3:

"In the 11th Blog of New Year, 'The Phoenix' gave to me:  Level Minded Piping, Ten Nyrrhs are Needed,  Nine Days' Revision,  It's a 'Made Up' Man Thing,  Serene Swans a-Swimming,  See Geezers Playing  -  Five Sing-ing Live  -  For Auld Lang Syne,  Three Hearty Cheers,  To All Men an Invite and A Calendar with Dates we can see!"

Here's a rundown of the various locations of where information about us is currently available:

• The main source of wisdom regarding Norwich's Phoenix Male Voice Choir is our Website at https://www.NorwichPhoenixMVC.org and it not only contains new and archived entries to this 'Stop Press' Blog, for instance, but is the home of our latest addition of value to our audience, supporters and members, our Website Home Page Calendar !  It's easy now to see Concert Dates, Rehearsal Dates, and other date-related information for the year.  Also, just click on a calendar item and more details will usually be available in a separate window.

 

• Our Website also contains extended information about: the Choir and its History; Phoenix's Musical Director, Accompanist and Choristers; our Next Events and reports on our Past Events with copies of the relevant Concert Programmes; information about our forthcoming Concerts in 2020; details of where and when Advance Concert Tickets become available; the location of our Concert Venues; information about forthcoming Open Rehearsals of interest to Prospective New Members;  easy ways to Contact Us via the website; and, finally, a place to post documents and information which can be easily found by Members !

• Our Concert Events are promoted widely for some weeks before each event and, again, we thank our Flyer Friends for their support in constantly displaying our publicity when it is available.  We are also grateful for the support given to us by churches, local magazines and the other local organisations who mention our forthcoming concerts and open rehearsals in their newsletters, magazines and in other communications - thank you!

 

• And finally, it's always worth giving us a Google (other search engines are available!) as you never know what information might be available on the internet!

If there is a better way to communicate with you, as a potential audience, as a group of men, or as a lover of choral song, please do let us know!  We'd like to contact you in the way you prefer!

Can't believe it...!   ...just Day 12 to go!!!
