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!

YRCC 2024 First Seniors' Performance: Wow!

 We had so much fun with the residents at Delmanor in Aurora yesterday!

What a perfectly delighful evening! 

It's always good to sing for and with seniors in a seniors' residence. Delmanor was a beautiful building with pretty rooms and sweet staff and very very nice residents. It was really exceptionally nice there.

We had a good group of YRCC singers, a nice balance of parts, and Donna was in excellent form, even singing along to some of our songs, and adding embellishments to the sing-along songs which made us all sing with more enthusiasm. 

Something wonderful: we had a couple new folks sing with seniors for the first time and they loved it and said they're signing up for more now that they know how much fun it is. Yay! I love that. 

I had promised to put a link to the movie with the mice that I always talk about, the one we have Somewhere Out There from, An American Tail.

Here's a link to the song being sung in the movie. You can also watch the whole movie on YouTube. 


Watch this one too: Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram singing with clips from the movie. So nice, even nicer and more similar to what we do.
