The Previsits Begin

Rock has really begun now. Over the last couple of weeks, Roger and a few cast members have been visiting different choirs for tour one, making sure that everything is going well, and giving them a bit of a last minute blast of enthusiasm.

On Wednesday evening last week, Roger, Alyson, Rachel and Bill travelled to Wigan. Wigan is a new venue for us, and they like to do things a bit differently. Not all of the choir could make an evening meeting, so the previsit began at 5pm with a break for a meal in the middle.

Then on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Roger, Mary, Bill, Simon and Helen had a tour of the north of England - Barrow in Furness/Ulverston on Friday night, Penrith Saturday afternoon, Blyth Sunday morning and afternoon, and Sunderland Monday evening. All the choirs seem to be getting on really well, and most people seem to have memorised their words!

Pray for all the tour one venues that they are able to sell their tickets, and that the choir members can feel happy and confident with all their word and part learning.

I remember the fun of pre-vists! It was so much less stressful than the tour and I got to see parts of the country I would not have experienced - fun times!

Really looking forward to our turn next week. In the meantime I'm praying for all those involved in the premier this weekend. And especially that God's word encapsulated in music will sow seeds in people's hearts.
