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 Annual General Meeting and Party tomorrow

Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 10th will be the last meeting of the York Region Community Choir until September 9th, 2025. 

We're singing at Mackenzie Place from 6:30-7:30, and then we'll head over to our room at the Administrative Centre on Yonge Street for a short meeting, the once-a-year meeting of the choir membership to do a little necessary business, and then we eat and chat and hopefully do some fun singing.

 If you're not planning to sing at the care home, then go straight to our room. You can help set up and start socializing. 

Bring something sweet or savoury to snack on, party snacks. We'll have tea and coffee, and maybe cool beverages? 

You'll have an opportunity to influence the choice of music for the fall/winter season. You had an email with attachments, and one was a list of songs. Choose your top 3, and we'll create a 30th anniversary winter concert of our favourite winter and Christmas songs. 

Please bring your binder and all of our music to return it, if you haven't already done so. After tomorrow, you will have to deliver it to Peggy's or Anne's house. All music must be returned before the end of June. 

Peggy and Anne, and the music selection committee, and the executive will be working over the summer to prepare the next season. 

Don't stop singing. Every chance you get, sing. Sing at summer concerts. Sing at bonfires. Sing in the car on roadtrips. Sing in the kitchen. Sing, sing, sing.
