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!

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

Choir Olympic Event

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.

Main Street, Newmarket

Just in time for Canada Day, Harry has made the move to Main Street Realty in Newmarket!

We love our great country and we love our hometown. We can't wait to join in the Canada Day celebrations- as we do every year- on Main Street and in Fairy Lake and now in Riverwalk Commons too!

We love our home in Newmarket, and are both active in this community. The Main Street name resonates with us because Main Street, Newmarket is where the spirit of the town resides. Walking or driving down Main Street always feels special.

When you're thinking about buying or selling a house in Newmarket, or anywhere in York Region and the GTA, talk to Harry Naghavi at Main Street Realty in Newmarket.
