Singalong Lunch Hour Picnic

Our summer picnic in Settlers Park brought out quite a number of us and it was nice to see each other in a different setting from rehearsals and performances. We sang beautifully (even though Stephanie's keyboard started complaining). We joined once again in the Seniors Singing Jamboree with five other choirs at Edmonds Community Centre, and came away with some new song ideas. We also performed at Meeting of the Melodies at Glen Pine Pavilion - indoors this year, as it was decidedly inclement outside! We kicked off Seniors Week in June with a concert after the Seniors Breakfast - lots of fun. We joined up with the Wesbrooke Glee Club in March and had a great time singing a whole show of Broadway hits. There's a video here. We sounded wonderful together! Sadly, we lost one of our choir members, Linda Tarantino, in the spring. We had the great honour of singing at her Celebration of Life. We moved rehearsals back to the Gathering Place now that construction outside is not quite so noisy. It'gs great to be back in a place with lovely acoustics amd lots of room! Our Christmas repertoire has expanded with several new songs as well as new arrangements of familiar ones. Our audiences love the upbeat selections we sing for them! We entertained at a number of seniors' residences over the season and we sang everything from traditional to Elvis, to the delight of our audiences. The thing that has struck me most about Silver Chord this year is the enthusiasm and the wonderful changes in our sound and energy. I  joined the choir as your accompanist in 2017 (wow, so long ago!) and have enjoyed every minute I've spent with you all. 2025, here we come!
