Posted October 8, 2015

Hey there!

Having fun? Enjoying choir? It’s not too late for your friends to join! Let’s get us up over 80 members! Like the song says, if you love it you gotta tell somebody!

Practice Tracks!

How are you liking the practice tracks? Aren’t they awesome? If you haven’t had time to try them out, access them here: www.guelphcommunitysingers.ca. To access the ‘Members Only’ section, use the password ‘gcs’, lowercase.

Last week, we sang:

  • All Too Soon
  • Both Sides Now

For Wednesday – please take time to watch ‘Dancing Dancing River’ SATB on YouTube. Here are two versions:

Music Reading Workshop!

For those of us (me) who are music-reading challenged, Grace our accompanist will do a music reading workshop on Oct. 14 at 6:45 – 7:30.

Seeking New Venues for Practices and Performances

Both the Baptist Church and Trinity United have raised their fees, so we are exploring new venues. Do you know of a location we should consider? Please reply to this email or talk to Alain at our next practice.

C’mon get social!

Please join us after Choir at Pennywhistle for a glass of wine, a pint or a cup of tea. We love talking about our music. If you have a different idea about a social event, let me know!
