Dear ESS members,

This is the annoucement of the latter half practice on Mar. 7.
I will hold a song practice, and some of the songs will be the songs we sang in the new year party.
First, we will make several groups for discussion, and I will distribute the lyrics cards.
Then, I will sing those songs on behalf of you to my ukulele and concertina. If you know the song, sing with me.
Next, we will have some discussion time. If you are not sure about the lyrics, ask the other members. I might bring some topics to discuss.
Finally, everyone who want to sing with me will sing.

Regards,
Kato
