Trinity Newmarket Singers

I hope I wasn't contagious yesterday. I was at church for Praise Team in the morning and at my choir in the evening, feeling a little off.  I thought it was the air pressure, or maybe allergies. My head felt heavy and stuffy, and just felt a little weird, more cranky than anything else. My crankiness disappears when I sing- especially last night when choir was so good, I was great- so I didn't think much of it.   This morning, I couldn't get out of bed, have a sore throat, and the stuffiness in my head has turned to pressure and my nose is stuffed. I cancelled work.  I'm going back to bed as soon as I can. 

Every Thursday from 7-8:30 in the Fellowship Room at Trinity on Main in Newmarket.  Singing (without microphones, without sheet music, with no pressure or judgement), snacks, conversation, it's an easygoing evening out. And, it's good for your health and well-being.  Get off your couch, and sit down on one of ours.   

I baked a sweet but low-sugar pumpkin cottage cheese muffin and a savoury egg and potato muffin for tonight!  We used my September and School playlist last week, and we'll use it again this week, since a number of people were absent. Last week, we sang and danced and had carrot muffins. I wonder who will be there and I wonder if we'll dance again. It was so much fun to sing and dance together! Hope to see you tonight!

While we’re not singing together in July and August, please find opportunities to sing in other places and with other people.  You can always sing in your car and in your kitchen. You can accept all invitations to cottages, camping, and beach days, and do some campfire singing. Or, sing while you paddle around in a lake. Sound carries over water, so have some buddies join you if you’re not comfortable with a solo performance.  Orchestrate some backyard sing-alongs if you can.  Singing outdoors in the summer is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. I’ve enjoyed the free concerts in Aurora and Newmarket in the past. They have ‘tribute bands’ who perform all the hits you know, and you’ll want to sing and dance along. (would be nice if they projected the lyrics for us, because we're used to having those words now) I’ve added these concerts to my YRCC Calendar to encourage my choristers to go. I’...
