Oldbury Salvation Army seeks choir members for festive panto
The Salvation Army in Oldbury is striking up a new tune this autumn, inviting voices young and old to blend in harmony for a festive Christmas pantomime in December.
After last year’s successful relaunch, the choir is hitting a fresh note this September, opening its doors to all ages: families, friends, and anyone ready to raise their voice in festive song. Rehearsals will be alive with the sound of Christmas favourites, building up to a performance brimming with music, drama, and the warm spirit of community togetherness.
Choir rehearsals will run from 6:30–7:30pm at The Salvation Army, Merton Close, B68 8NG, with an open invitation to keep the rhythm going in community drama rehearsals from 7:45–9:00pm for those eager to tread the panto stage. No experience is needed, just a song in your heart and a smile on your face.
The December finale will crescendo with more than music, as the audience will be invited to join in the harmony of giving through a collection for The Salvation Army’s annual Christmas Toy Appeal, helping to bring the gift of joy to children who might otherwise miss out.
Rehearsal Dates:
September 15 and 29
October 13
November 3 and 17
December 1
Deborah Hampton, Church Leader of the Salvation Army in Oldbury, said: "We want this to be a place where the whole community can join in: parents, children, grandparents, neighbours, everyone singing and laughing together while making something special for Christmas. This isn’t about perfect voices, it’s about making memories and sharing joy."
The Salvation Army in Oldbury is a welcoming hub for all ages, offering children and youth clubs on Fridays during term time, practical employability support, and the Care and Share Charity shop in Warley. Sunday Morning Worship at 10:30am is open to all, followed by refreshments. For more information on activities from The Salvation Army in Oldbury, follow on Facebook
