Costumes


Farmyard Bird

Everyone is a farmyard bird unless you are a main character throughout the show. If you are not that character in ‘A Poultry Tale then you must be a farmyard bird, so here goes:


it’s whatever you want to be (within reason) and the costume is down to you and the school will provide comedy beaks for everyone.

Some ideas:


Pheasant, hunting gear
Chicks, yellow and fluffy bangles and stuff,
Cockerels, in red,
Chickens in brown,
Ducks in green and yellow or brown,
There is a lot of scope for this so be what you want however no swans and don’t go and hire a large chicken costume; it only needs to hint that you are a bird!
Remember you need to dance in it!

Geese (except Graylag (you know what you are doing))

Some form of army jumper to be provided by the school, and is t.b.c
Trousers, t.b.c
And walking/ marching boots, (borrow some off of a friend in the cadet force!?)
Beaks from the school.

Froglets (not bull frog (you know what you are doing!))

Green t-shirt you need to get
Green shorts you need to get
Green leggings (optional) you may want to get
Green hat from school and green legwarmers likewise
Footwear t.b.c (I guess some form of dance shoe but I will try to check)

Ducklings


Leggings in either yellow/orange, from school
Tutu in either yellow or orange, from school
Baseball cap from school
Legwarmers in either yellow or orange from school
Footwear t.b.c (dance shoe?)

Turkey- see miss shepherd a.s.a.p to confirm the school costume

Ok, so that’s that!
If your part is not on here email me or see miss shepherd at school.
Remember that you need to dance in your costume.
Make sure that your costume does not look like any of the above mentioned, other than the farmyard birds.


Have a good line learning half term,

King's Singers: Gold

These guys turn 50 this year. Obviously none of them is 50 years old, but if you don't know this group, then you should get to know them. Formed in 1968, this all six-piece male vocal ensemble have made a name for their stunning singing, ranging from Renaissance polyphony to arrangement of more current hits. For me, I have always loved going through the huge numbers of arrangements that they have made available to us. Most of them are really approachable by the amateur ensemble, and over the years, some of their arrangements have become real Vocal Ensemble favourites. I try to make a point of teaching And So it Goes  to every cohort, and this, along with Lonesome Road and She's Always a Woman  will remain very dear to past and present members' hearts. The King's Singers have recently released Gold , a three-album compilation to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. Listen to it here . Vocal Ensemble, I look forward to taking you to their concert in January.  ...
