Buderim Male Choir

We've just performed a mini concert at Buderim Gardens Retirement Village.
The occassion was a sale of designer clothing and accessories owned by Marilyn, the late wife of Choir member Alan Ford, and the proceeds were all being donated to the Stroke Foundation in her honour.
We were happy to support the event and we sang a selection of the songs we'll be singing at our concert on 20th September.
Several of our Choir wives attended as well and made a few purchases.

We're in full rehearsal for our September concert "Songs of the Sea" but we had a little diversion last Thursday evening.
The National Boys' Choir of Australia, which is based in Melbourne, is presently on a tour of Australia and we were invited to join them, along with the Oriana Choir and the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir, in a private concert in Buderim's Uniting Church hall.
We sang a bracket of five songs and enjoyed listening to the other choirs with their different styles of presentation. The sweet sounds of the National Boys' Choir were an absolute delight.
We were presented with a little placque by the NBC to commemorate the occasion.

We performed a concert at Immanuel Gardens Retirement Village to commemorate St George's Day (April 23rd). St George is the patron Saint of England. We had a large enthusiastic audience, the accoustics were excellent and we sang a variety of popular English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish songs, finishing up with a couple of Australian favourites.
