I'm planning to go to the first of the summer concerts at Riverwalk Commons in Newmarket on Thursday nights. It's this Thursday, July 9th, starting at 6:30 with an opening act that I don't want tto miss. The headliner is a tribute band doing Elton John and Billy Joel songs. Lots of songs I can sing along with ;-) I hope to find some of my singing friends there.
There's also a concert in Aurora tomorrow, Wednesday evening. It's a good one: The Beresfords. They did an amazing Taylor Swift concert a couple years ago that had all the little girls believing the singer was TS herself. I'm not planning to go, but I could probably be talked into it...
I've listed all the Aurora and Newmarket free concerts in the York Region Community Choir Calendar.

I just saw on Facebook that there are concerts on Tuesday nights in East Gwillimbury and they have a market too, from 4-9. The Civic Centre is on Leslie at Mt. Albert Road (and south of Mt. Albert/Farr if you're coming from the west). The band tonight looks really good. I'm having a sleepy day today, but if I can get my act together, I'll maybe go.
Here's a link for information about that: Music and Market Nights at the East Gwillimbury Civic Centre
This just in: Bradford also has free concerts on Tuesdays!!! 425 Holland Street West (Holland/Professor Day)

Please consider going to some free outdoor concerts this summer to be sure you keep singing while there's no choir.
It's so much fun, and it's free! Because it's outdoors, it's relaxed and you can sing along, dance along, have a beverage and snacks... and you can go with your non-choir people.
- Bring friends and chairs.
- Get there early.
- Check out the weather conditions before you head out.

I shared it on the Choir's Facebook Page.
Take note: We have a new Group Page on Facebook. Up until now, we've had a "Page" for the choir to post, but now we have a "Group" so we can all post and share things together. It's a closed group, rather than a public group, so you have to be invited. I've invited people that I know are on Facebook, but if I haven't invited you, you can ask to be added.
Why not share photos of your summer adventures in our Facebook Group?
We've got a group of us going to a Choir Revolution event at Market Brewing Company in Newmarket on July 15th: Ahead By A Century: The Great Canadian Sing-Along w/ Choir Revolution. $25 Tickets. Visit our Facebook Group to get info.
