Sometimes I talk myself out of doing something before trying. A bit of writing. Or something else creative. I’m talking myself out of doing it because I’m trying to save effort. Why do something if it isn’t going to work, right? Maybe. Maybe not. Other times, I do it and see if it works. Last…
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…
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…
Yesterday, Vocal Point sang for the residents of Caroline Place Retirement Residence. It was our first performance of the season! Caroline Place has a special place in our hearts. It was there that we performed as a choir for the first time. It’s always nice to sing for an appreciative audience. And it’s great practice…
Deb has started rehearsals for A Christmas Carol. She’s directing the play. Even though she’s been busy prepping for rehearsals, now she’ll be out of the home three times a week. At least! And I’m well into rehearsals for The Game’s Afoot and choir. What does that mean? It means for the next few weeks…
Yes, it’s only the beginning of August. But I can sense the month speeding by already. Before I know it, September will be here. Which means the start of rehearsals for The Game’s Afoot. Lines to learn. Vocal Point choir starting back up for the Fall season. Songs to learn. Applying to the Montreal Fringe…
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…
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…
This happened last Fall. I was in a play and my choir had a concert. At the same time. Fortunately, I was able to perform in all the play and choir dates. And it’s happening again. I’m in another play. Burn at the Player’s Guild. We open on May 31. And my choir has their…
Tickets are on sale now for Vocal Point’s Spring 2024 show: Feeling Good – A Sixties Snapshot. Unfortunately, I won’t be at the first show (May 31) because Burn opens on that day, also. But I should be able to sing in the second show. The music is a lot of fun. I highly recommend…
