We are pleased to report the news from Allan Banks
that Harbour Breezes Daylilies has sold out of the fundraising daylily ‘Coastal Dawn’ developed at Harbour Breezes and named by the men of the choir. No more will be available for a couple of years until the stock increases. A big thanks to everyone who helped to support the choir via this campaign, and to Allan for this fundraising initiative.
We had a great appreciative audience for our end-of-season concert yesterday evening at First United Church in Musquodoboit Harbour. Thank you for your support!
Also a special thanks to Rowan Wilson-Henkelman for her wonderful solo pieces accompanied by John Plant, and including “Rise Again” performed with the Choir, and to Ro Evans for his steadfast support playing guitar for “Hit the Road, Jack!” with Blair Lopes, Janet Gaskin, and back-up singers.
Many thanks also for “insider” solo performances by our bass singer/songwriter Jim Reid with his own composition “Love’s Like That”, and by our accompanist John Plant for Mozart’s Variations on …. a tune well known in children’s songs! It was also a privilege and great fun to sing John’s arrangement for the Choir of “I Am So Proud” from Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Mikado”.
The Choir continues to develop thanks to the tremendous leadership of Music Director Janet Gaskin and Chairman/Assistant Music Director Allan Banks, and with the brilliant support of Accompanist John Plant. We look forward to next season.
The three winning tickets were drawn yesterday evening, and the owners are:
Don Macrae
Hannah Asprey
Debbie Spence
Congratulations!
We would like to thank everyone who bought or sold tickets in this campaign for your support of Coastal Voices Men’s Choir. The Choir would also like to thank bass Jim Reid for his initiative and creativity with this fundraising activity.
