Harmony by the Harbour .....

 

I followed the sound to this group of Korean singers at Circular Quay last week.
It was lovely to stand and listen but I wanted to join in especially when they started to sing "Siyahamba" that I had learnt when singing in Sava Savu Fiji in 2007.
They were a Christian group and were singing as an Outreach from their church.
It was interesting to see them discussing the pitch note and then it was played by a girl with a violin for them to sing.
Nice .....

Debut Performance

 

Here is our newest quartet. To be called Vivace
They performed for us on Wednesday night and hopefully will be doing their concert debut on Sunday?

Jill - Baritone, Helen - Bass, Denise - Lead, and Rosey as Tenor.
Well done girls it was lovely.
Sounding good.

Fun at the Bush Dance

I'm not sure if we should dispute the winner of the table decoration competition....
Was this 'fire' on the table? No but with the lanterns and gum leaves etc it all tied in - LOL
Everyone went to a lot of trouble to decorate and dress to the theme and the Wongawilli band had everyone's feet tapping.
Not quite so sure of my knees today though!

 

On Saturday night we had a great time at a bush dance which was organised by Karen as a fundraiser for the chorus.
I don't know if we raised lots of money but we had lots of fun!
It was lovely to see the families having fun together and see the kids joining in and learning the dances etc.
Just like the 'old' days - does that show my age?

The coffee was good ............

 

 

 

 

In May we had a singout at the Retirement Expo at Kembla Grange Racecourse.
We sang for the 'hordes' of prospective retirees who were there to investigate the seniors living options and the prepaid funeral plans!
It was a cool blustery day and we had a great coffee afterwards.

An OLD friend .............

 

We were rehearsing the night before our performance at Convention when a chorus who had been using an adjoining rehearsal space had to leave via our room.
I was 'chilling out' between songs (as you do) and aimlessly watching the girls from Harvey Bay Seabelles filing thru' the room when .............. I saw a familiar face!
It was Elvy, an old friend from Narrabri who I hadn't seen for at least 15years!
I dashed out and grabbed her - to her surprise - until she recognised me that was!
We caught up for a chat and reminise at the bar the next night.
The kids were surprised when I told them I had seen 'Mrs Elvy!' - she had taught them all at Pre-School.
It's a small world made smaller by my friends in Sweet Adelines.

The fashion Parade ....

 

Karen and Jill looking pretty spiffy in the marigold jackets.
AND - Denise sure made an entrance in the Tails!
GO GIRLS!

Cobie and Joy say 'goodbye' to WHC

 

 

Cobie has moved up to Sydney to Epping to live closer to her place of employment and Joy is heading off to the Continent for an extended holiday.
We wish them both well and hope they will come back to visit us when they can.
We'll miss you guys!
