Sing to chase away the blues

"Quem canta, seus males espanta"- literally, 'Those who sing, frighten away their woes'- and it's true. So there's some Wednesday Wisdom for you (November Theme Challenge)

Tonight was our Choir Meet. Our little and largely geriatric choir has hosted several of these encounters. The other choirs, particularly in the case of the two visiting choirs tonight, are considerably larger, more experienced and generally better, but we didn't disgrace ourselves either. Our young choirmaster has managed to resuscitate a diminishing group and fill us with enthusiasm, assisted by three talented youngsters he brought in to help the sopranos, contraltos and the men (not enough of them to be divided into tenors and baritones, let alone basses).

The shot is of the finale of one of the other choirs. Their black and white outfits and excellent choreography made for a super performance.

We laid on a tableful of food afterwards and apparently singing also increases one’s appetite – there was barely a scrap left after the gannets had descended on it.
