Another Rehearsal to sing Voice! High Country Theatre

Come along and sing Voice! Rehearsal on Thursday the 3rd Aug at 6pm, 119a Barney St – the new High Country Theatre (previously Masonic Lodge)

Northern Tablelands for YES has a song to rally behind! We’ll sing it on the street march and at concerts and will record it at our picnic in the park on Saturday 12th August as part of a National event collecting recordings from around Australia.

A song crafted by Suze Pratten with Stacey Etal translating in Durag Language.

Frances and Stephen Tafra will be helping us along with some of the Fire Birds Choir and others joining us for our first run through. Be sure to come prepared to sing to the recording.This is the fun bit!!!

But there’s homework —listen to this often and sing along!

Voice! Song Lyrics

Verse 1
You made a Statement from the Heart,
You made it loud you made it clear.
You made a Statement from the Heart,
Now it’s up to me to hear.
Verse 2
So many Nations came together,
So many people found one voice,
It wasn’t easy but you did it,
Now we need to make the choice.
CHORUS
It’s a choice for Voice,
Voice Treaty Truth x3 Voice Treaty Truth x2
Verse 3
It’s way past time for recognition
This Voice to parliament enshrined
Our nation needs that Truth be told (let truth be told)
And there’s Treaties to be signed.
CHORUS
It’s a choice for Voice, Voice Treaty Truth x3 Voice Treaty
Truth x3

We really need all of you to attend if you can with as many friends and family, as a show of solidarity.

More of the fun and collective stuff.
