Another Olympic Success!

Another group of YRCC Olympians made us proud. The York Region Community Choir participated in the Olympic Finale Event at the Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket yesterday, Saturday, August 11th, 2012. 

This time, our choir was asked to sing more, because they loved us so much the first time. What an honour! 

We were told that our O Canada "gave the community a feeling of patriotism", which we all felt when the crowd cheered at the end of our beautiful a cappella version of our national anthem. What a thrill! 

I'm so proud to be part of this wonderful group of people, the York Region Community Choir. 

Here's the picture of the group that performed at the Olympic Opening Event.

Olympic Athletes Making Us Proud

Following the Olympics a bit. Isn't it awesome? Feeling proud!

Olympic Stars

Friday's Opening Ceremony event at the Mall was excellent!

The members of the York Region Community Choir who were able to come out and sing had a great experience. It was fun and very rewarding.

It was such an honour to represent our community that way. You could hear the power of the moment in our O Canada. It has never sounded better! A CTV camera was there to capture the event and we were on the news Friday night! Here's a link to that broadcast: click. The event is mentioned right at the beginning and you can hear a snippet of O Canada at 2:27.

We sang You Raise Me Up to open the event. It was beautiful. We're so lucky to be able to share such wonderful music.

The Olympic gold medalist who was there gave a wonderfully inspiring speech and we were able to see her gold medals.We were each given a commemorative medal and then we had our picture taken. My family was there and we had our picture taken too.

Everybody, Come to the Mall on Friday!

Tell your friends and family to come to the mall to hear us sing at the Olympic Opening Ceremony Celebration.
They are giving away commemorative medals and souvenir photos to the first 150 visitors. You can meet two Gold Medal Olympians, Anne Ottenbrite-Muylaert and Larry Cain. And, there is going to be a gymnastics demonstration as well.

Update on the Olympic Event

Oooh. Now there are 2 Gold Medalists coming to hear us sing!

Hey Everyone, the choir is in an Olympic Event!!!
400m sing? Note holding? Voice throwing?
Nope.
It's the 2012 Summer Games@UCM Opening Ceremony Celebration Event.
We'll be singing our National Anthem and You Raise Me Up at Upper Canada Mall to help Newmarket, York Region, and all of Canada cheer on our athletes in London on the day of the Opening Ceremony.
