Yesterday, Vocal Point, the choir that I belong to, had a workshop. It was wonderful. On a few levels. First, since it was on a Saturday, instead of a Tuesday, I was able to go to it. I’ve only been able to go to one choir rehearsal since February. Because my play rehearsals are on…
Choir started up this week. Unfortunately, I can only attend for the next few weeks. Starting February, my play rehearsals will conflict with choir rehearsals. Choir rehearsals are recorded though. So, I can listen to them after the fact and work on the songs on my own. My play should finish before the choir’s big…
In our choir, we have lots of sopranos and altos. And up until this session, we had a good number of tenors. But we’ve always had a scant amount of basses. Usually three. And one of them is me. So, it’s more like two and a half. At the beginning of each session, we’d gain…
It’s hard to believe that we’re a third of the way through the month already. And I’m falling behind in my routines. Blogging. Running. Writing. What’s happening? November was busy. But I had a routine to keep me focused. I worked on my lines. I worked on my music. The beginning of December marked the…
Yesterday, our choir sang for a senior’s residence again. We were back at Caroline Place Retirement Residence for a second time. We played all the songs that we’ll be singing in our Sleighing It concert, instead of only a selection. I’m still working on my lyrics to get “off book”, so I was holding onto…
The new season has started for Vocal Point Choir. And we’re learning the songs for our concerts in December 2024. As often happens at the start of a new session, new people join. And others leave. It’s strange when the choir shuffles a little from season to season. We’ve got two new people singing Bass.…
We had our Vocal Point end of season party this week. Unfortunately, not everyone could make it out. Schedules, schedules, schedules. It’s hard to wrangle a big group of folks. I was able to get there, though. And aside from my Karaoke Krash, it was a fun time. We celebrated at Deja Vu Karaoke Bar.…
Vocal Point Choir’s season is finished. We had a our Feelin’ Good spring concerts on May 31 and June 1. I couldn’t be at the May 31 concert, but I was there for the June 1 one. What an awesome feeling it is to sing with the choir! I love it. There’s something about the…
It’s been a while since I posted anything regarding my year of the woo woo. So, I thought I’d share a recent one. I haven’t been able to go to my choir rehearsals since rehearsals for Burn started. The plan was that I would continue to work on the songs and try to get them…
Vocal Point Choir’s Spring concert is almost here! Two shows. Sixties theme. Four-part harmony. It’s going to be great! If you are going to be in Hamilton (Ontario) on May 31 or June 1, you should get tickets to Feeling Good – A Sixties Snapshot. The music is beautiful. Music from rock, pop, folk, and…
