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!

REAL CHOIR in DECEMBER- YRCC meeting Dec. 6 and Dec. 13











I'm doing a happy dance! 

I can hardly believe it. I'm going to see you soon!

Cross our fingers, say your prayers, do what you can to make this happen!

We have booked our room in the basement of Trinity Anglican Church in Aurora (79 Victoria Street) for 2 Mondays in December and starting in January!!!

There will be COVID things, masks while we're out of our seats, social distancing and vaccination records. But, we will be together in one place singing our songs! I'm so excited!

December 6 and 13 will be just for fun, since there's no concert to rehearse for. We're not making binders. You can simply download the sheet music to your phone or a tablet or iPad and sing with an electronic copy. If you prefer, you can print them out. Go to the website to the Recordings page to fetch the music. I'll put them on the calendar too. Here's the list of music. We might do a little Christmas sing-along if we're in the mood. 

  • Grown-up Christmas List
  • Hallelujah
  • Little Tree
  • Magic of Winter
  • Seasons of Love
  • Twelve Days After Christmas
  • Twelve Songs of Christmas
  • We Need a Little Christmas
  • What a Wonderful World
  • Why We Sing
  • You Raise Me Up

Stay safe and healthy and hope for the pandemic situation to remain the same or get better, not worse again.
