The choir first met in the Spring of 2015 with 13 members. It has grown rapidly and now has over 30 participants. However, new members are always welcome.
If you enjoy singing then you fulfil the qualification for joining the choir - no audition, no requirement to read music, no solos.
We meet during school term times on a Thursday evening in the Primary School Hall between 7.00 pm and 9.00 pm (coffee/biscuit break from 8.00 pm to 8.15 pm). The charge is £7 per session; the initial session is free. Come along and enjoy the singing and company of other members.
We usually perform during the Village Christmas Tree Festival and sometime in the Spring/Summer term, but members are not required to take part.
COME ALONG, SING, AND GO HOME ELATED AND REFRESHED – IT IS GREAT FUN AND AN ENJOYABLE SOCIAL EVENT
Saturday 7th December 2024 saw the choir singing four songs as part of the Community Network’s Christmas Tree Festival concert in Great Waltham Church. On Thursday 12th December members of the choir sang carols around the village in the rain (maybe you heard them), but were inside the following Wednesday when 16 choristers sang carols in the bar at the Green Man in Howe Street, the final performance of the year.
The annual summer soiree and BBQ was held on 11th July 2025 at Great Waltham School. The choir went through ten of the songs it had been working on through the previous year, some known to the audience, some not. The school hall was full with 50 in the audience all of whom enjoyed the and their opportunities to participate.
On 11th October 2025 as guests of the Chelmsford Male Voice Choir at their October concert, this year at the Village Church, the choir performed in two slots, three songs in each, some of which included audience participation. The Selion Swing Band were also guests and gave an exciting session which prompted spontaneous dancing in the aisles. The finale saw all performers and the audience singing ‘Big Spender’ to everyone’s great joy.
