YRCC Spring 2025 Seniors Tour has begun

We had our first seniors' performance last night. 

It was wonderful, such a joy!

Here's a bit of my concert script, from our May 3rd  30th Anniversary Spring Concert, where I spoke about our seniors tour:

The concert is exciting, ... thrilling. (But)
We also sing at seniors homes and care homes.
We sing a short program of our stuff and then a good number of sing-along songs from eras past, songs that the seniors can sing too.
Those are always fun and rewarding times.
It always makes my heart sing when I arrive at one of those places, whether it’s more like a hotel or more like a hospital, when I see those black pants white shirts and red ties, it makes me so happy! 
There they are: My Team! 

Well, the team that assembled last night was a winning one. We got ourselves together, managed to have the equipment there (thanks to Melodie and her husband John) and all plugged in and ready, and we gave them a spirited and inspiring performance. The audience of residents was full of vim and vitality. They clapped and sang and showed great appreciation for our efforts. Cedarvale Lodge in Keswick is one of those "more like a hotel" places, a fancy resort hotel. Such a pleasure to sing there. We ended up starting a little late because we each had to register/sign in electronically on one device. It was good to see that they protect their residents and all of us there, but we should have been warned to arrive earlier to get all of us entered into the system. Luckily, our team captain, Lauren, stood by and helped us quickly manage the machine. Even the drive there was nice. 

My heart sang. I love my choir! (thank you, Carol, for the pictures)
