Title: Enormous Choir at Christmas Concert
Post by: Jonas on September 10, 2007, 05:17PM
Do you think the huge choir at the Christmas concert are all friends and family members of the people of the regular choir and Rosemary decided to have them sing with them as like a Christmas present?

I think so. It tells me that they would only sing in the back.

the choir was in the back ...it was great to see them as the stage props hid them from us ...until they started to sing. It was a great surprise.

I think they are singers from a choir. Mel helped them find the back stage door a few times! We were out front waiting for the Helix doors to open. Yes we were real early. They would come to the front ...Mel directed them to where to go.

The choir scared me when they popped out of nowhere! But their sound was beautiful.

I'll bet to sense out that it could just echo.

I literally jumped about two inches above my bed when they started singing. Same then happened when Chloe came out during The Little Drummer Boy.

OH me too!
I was expecting Orla to come out of that blob of chorus members but I had no idea Chloe would pop out of their also!  :D
I really like how they did that though... it's fun to watch because her reveal is so perfect with the music.

That large choir in the back, behind the giant holly leaf, according to the sleeve of the DVD:

The Philharmonic Choir, which comprises:
Members of the Trim Musical Society, Trim Castle Singers, Ulysses Chamber Choir, TCD Choral Society (Trinity College Dublin), CRUX Vocal Ensemble,
Girl Talk, and last but certainly not least -
An Garda Siochana Choir (Irish Police Force).

Did they come together?

They were all in Dublin for the filming of the Christmas DVD, Kimberly.

So they didn't have a long way to travel.

They must have had a rehearsal before the filming, so all their voices would blend together so well.

They sounded great, didn't they?

So, you ever meant that they stay in the back?
