To create the effect, we had suitable music and a wild array of outfits including a French maid, several cabaret dancers, two onion sellers, Marie Antoinette, two French waiters, two phantoms of the opera and two French mime artists.</span><span style="font-size:15px; color:#F7006C;"><br /><br /></span><img class="imageStyle" alt="float1" src="http://www.rainbowchorus.myzen.co.uk/LatestNews/files/page25_blog_entry33_1.jpg" width="500" height="375"/><br /><br /><span style="font-size:16px; color:#F7006C;">We&rsquo;re very grateful to lots of the women in the choir who put in loads of time to make all the lovely cutouts of the Eiffel Tower, Sacr&eacute; Coeur, L&rsquo;Arc de Triomphe, Moulin Rouge (and one other I think), organise the PA and drive the truck! Swags and flags completed the scene. We had a wondeful time singing along with the music, Can-Can dancing and acting out bizarre scenes from The Phantom of the Opera! And there&rsquo;s also a big thanks to our wonderful wheel stewards who didn&rsquo;t get to rise on the float, but without whom there would have been no float.</span><br /><span style="font-size:22px; color:#F7006C;"><br /></span><div class="image-left"><img class="imageStyle" alt="B&H Council logo" src="http://www.rainbowchorus.myzen.co.uk/LatestNews/files/page25_blog_entry33_2.jpg" width="251" height="147"/></div><span style="font-size:15px; color:#F7006C;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:16px; color:#F7006C;">We&rsquo;d also like to thank Brighton & Hove Council for our grant without which this extravaganza would not have been possible.<br /></span><span style="font-size:15px; color:#F7006C;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:16px; color:#F7006C;">There are more pictures in the </span><span style="font-size:16px; color:#F7006C;"><a href="../LookListen/Photos/BrightonPride08/BrightonPride08.html" rel="self" title="Brighton Pride 2008">gallery</a></span><span style="font-size:16px; color:#F7006C;"> - so have a look.</span><span style="font-size:15px; color:#F7006C;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:16px; color:#F7006C;">And of course, we hope you all had a fantastic Pride ...</span>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>After the Parade - how about joining us?</title><dc:creator>cybershop@mac.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Latest News</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-08-10T16:30:04+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.rainbowchorus.myzen.co.uk/LatestNews/items.html#unique-entry-id-19</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rainbowchorus.myzen.co.uk/LatestNews/items.html#unique-entry-id-19</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="font-size:15px; color:#F7006C;">Our 'new term' begins for possible new members on Monday the 15th of September, so if you have even just a little bit slightly considered coming along  then we'd urge you to turn up and try us for yourself.
