The German Choir (der deutsche Chor)

Heya, the Choir is up and set to begin!


The event we'll be preparing for this time is the CLS Picnic. The first few practices, which begin during the vacation, are mentioned above. More dates to be found at the panel right of this post on the blog page.

German songs to be sung are:

Auf einem Baum ein Kuckuck
die Affen rasen durch den Wald
Bunt sind schon die Wälder
Erntekanon

Songs above will be "choir-ised", so it would be that karaoke-ish. And don't worry if you don't know how to read notes, it's easy for one to follow the tune of the band.

This event has been around for quite some time and I've to say it's fun and relaxation guaranteed. It is open to all, so do come over and lend your voice!

ATTENTION: Due to last minute changes, the practice on Friday will be at 1100-1300, AS 3/0302

PS: If you're learning German, this is one of the only few things you can do to go along with your routine classes, learning a language does not have to be that dry.
