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!

Two Weeks To Go!

Hi Everyone,

Summer is almost over. The nights are getting cooler and my elder daughter went to school today for Registration Day, also called Welcome Back Day.

It's funny, there was a typo on the school website and it said Welcome Bank Day. That's an appropriate slip. It was mostly about paying fees today. $30 for the student card and agenda, $56 for the yearbook and DVD, other fees for Grade 9's. Soraya's going to be in Grade 10.

Tomorrow, my younger daughter, Victoria will go and see whose class she'll be in. It'll be posted on the door of her school. She's going into Grade 6.

And, tomorrow, Sapphire and I, with Steve's help, will be recording the accompaniments and parts! I'm very excited and nervous. We'd like to have CD's ready for September 12th. It's only 2 weeks away! I'm looking forward to hearing Sapphire play. She's so amazing. And, I'm curious to hear how the new music sounds. It looks really good.

I'm really looking forward to this new season. It's going to be great!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone come back and also to welcoming new people. It's always fun when new people start in September. We'll be sure to sing some of our best pieces to impress them and we'll start learning something new to show how we do it.

Two more weeks!

I'm excited.

Yours in harmony,

Renate
