I just wanna take the opportunity to say that Andy Allen (legend) will be sorely missed in the baritone section - coz he is clearly epic.
We have always been able to rely on his bright, clear, accurate, blended sound to really bolster the sound our section makes and really elicit such positive responses as those we received this weekend from such eminent singers as FRED and others :-)
Andy we will really miss you in chorus, I only hope you keep coming to rehearsals to help us lowly mortals blend with that enormous bass section... :-D
You've gotta keep coming anyway - you're Mr.Treasurer now - there's no escaping it... Otherwise I might make an official request for a treasurer's report every month to be delivered to the whole chorus at rehearsals! Then you'd have to be there lol.
Baritones rule.

I second that!
I second that!
Me too!!
Me too!!
As the leader of that
As the leader of that enormous bass section I also agree you will be missed.
As chairman I propose that you keep coming to rehearsals and bring some of your sexy tags with you.
As a mate I say that it is always a joy to see you and you make an awesome cup of tea.
Andy will go down in history as the first person to leave the youth chorus through being too old. What a clame to fame, but all the same, 'tis a shame. (Sorry, that was lame, and there's only me to blame)
