2014-2015 Year off to a Great Start

11/15/2014

The 2014-2015 season began in September with plans to enjoy another great year of music-making. Our first endeavour of the year was singing at Concordia Village assisted living apartments in their Sunday afternoon worship service on October 19th. The choristers enjoyed the appreciative audience and the treats that were provided at the end of the service. As it was a beautiful day we took advantage of the scenery with a quick photo-op.

Invitations have been accepted for Nov. 23rd at Joy Lutheran church, Nov. 30th for Winnipeg’s annual Christkindlmarkt and three performances at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Nutcracker, including singing at the Piano Nobile prior to those shows on Dec. 20th (evening), Dec. 23rd and Dec. 28th. A few more invitations are still being considered and will be added to the calendar upon acceptance.

We’ve had a great start to the year and are anticipating lots of wonderful experiences again this season.

Another Year Ends

7/23/2014

Another Year has come to an end and summer is in full swing. We anxiously await the fall for a new choir season, but in the meantime, many jump at the opportunity when one of our families offers her home for an end of the year BBQ. In Manitoba you have to be prepared for anything and when you are expecting 50 people the next day, nature sometimes likes to play games. Just listen to our BBQ hostess as she re-tells the lead up to the big day.

I was worried when a few days before the party, the temperature went down and the pool was cold, and the dogs got sprayed by a skunk, and the trampoline mat ripped and the pony went lame and the rain filled the yard with huge muddy puddles and the firepit was under 6 inches of water...But.... kids will swim even in cold water and we put the dogs in the goat pen and the trampoline was fixed in time and the pony was feeling better and we used pallets to make walkways and reassembled the firepit on the driveway. There was lots of food and nobody cried - it was a success! I think we had about 50ish people - at one point, there were at least 20 in the pool. We'd definitely be open to having a get together here again.

Thank You for opening your home to everyone. See you all in September.
