Join the Fun - SING WITH US
You can be a part of our Mass Choir May 17th-19th 2013. Our goal - 200 voices in a single choir singing in St. Bernard’s Church.
This is a great opportunity to share your love of choral music in a supportive environment that leads to the…
High Cs Mass Choir Concert
Sing and socialize too …
Harmony Harbour - Friday May 17th
After the first Mass Choir Rehearsal in beautiful Digby Hall, join us in the Pines Grand Lounge for wine and cheese
renew acquaintances and music provided by ‘The Fundy Pops Jazz Band’.
Conductors’ Appreciation Night Banquet - Saturday May 18th
Conductors always tell you - “You can do it”. This is their ‘DO’ - the opportunity for the choir to say ‘Thank You’ to their dedicated leaders. We now know that, given a chance to toast/roast their conductors, choirs demonstrate the originality and enthusiasm that has proven to be a wonderful, heartwarming happening.
Once again we will enjoy the cuisine provided by Chef Dale enhanced with quiet background music and culminate in a bit of fun and laughter.
Picnic by the Bay - Sunday May 19th
Concert day! Rehearsal’s done! It’s time to relax before ‘singing in the castle!’ Bring your lawn chair and a jacket too,
as we provide a picnic by the Bay so that you need not search for food.
