Choir ‘San José’, a group that struggles to be in the contest

The first days of December and the holidays take place christmas They are just around the corner in Ceuta. This has an intrinsic bouquet of Christmas events for the enjoyment of the people of Ceuta. Yes, the pandemic unfortunately he is still among us and that has led to groups of choirs who will participate next December 10 in the Contest are having great difficulty forming a group. A clear example is the ‘San José’ choir, which has been in the competition for 28 years and whose participation in this edition is on the air.

Ana Medinilla, one of the people who has taken over the reins of the group due to the dismissal of the director for health reasons, has explained to the FaroTV cameras the difficulties they are having to form a group and carry out a normal course of rehearsals . “We have started late, because people were afraid to meet because of the coronavirus. So we have met but in very short meetings. I am also in front because the director has fallen twice, breaking her arms. That has also contributed to people backing down, since she is not in front. Everything has been put together and that is why we do not know if we are going to leave ”.

Another of the handicaps that the group has found are the works that are being carried out in the parish of San José and that have made it impossible for them to rehearse in the place as they have done in previous years. “The San José parish has been under construction for a long time and that is why we cannot rehearse there. Luckily Father Arturo has left us here in ‘Santa Teresa’ to be able to rehearse because otherwise we would not have room to do it ”.

The group has not yet decided if it will be next Friday on the stage of the Teatro Auditorio del Revellín. For this reason, Medinilla has wanted to call on other groups to join them so that they can participate. “I really want to go out, but we don’t know if we can do it. With a few who join, even if they are from other groups, we go out ”.

This choir has a long history behind them, but this year, for various reasons, their participation is in jeopardy and may leave a great void in the contest.
