Welcome


Welcome to Renate's Baton. This blog is mostly for and about my choir, The York Region Community Choir.

But, While I'm holding the baton, I'm in charge. So, if I want to talk about other parts of my life, I will. :)

The choir itself is a community and I'm discovering that we have a lot in common with one another besides our love of music and singing.

When I go off on a tangent, there is always a crowd coming along. Join us!

If you didn't order the sandwich, you'll want to bring something to eat. There will be time after the mass chorus to go out quickly if necessary (5:15-6:00 probably). We'll be there from 2:30 until quite late, I'm guessing 10:00 pm. They'll have water for us, but you might want to have your own water bottle too. There will also be some snacks (see above)
