Trinity Singers on Summer Break 2024

I hope you're still singing.

Sing any chance you get. Not just Sundays -and you're maybe spending Sundays away doing fun summer stuff.

There will be concerts in parks, free to enjoy. Don't bring a chair. Stand and move your body as you sing along to the songs you know, even if you only know the chorus: it's a chorus, that's what it's for, singing chorally, together.

There will be live music in bars. If the spirit moves you (either the divine one or the liquid one), then move and sing and that way you'll let the band know that they're doing their job well.

Sing every chance you get. Dance any chance you get too!

Singing Together in July and August

I posted this on my YRCC blog, and I think it applies to my Trinity Singers too.

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’...

Sing-along Café 2025-05-29

Our dance theme turned into a Taylor Swift theme! We started off looking at my Pride Affirming playlist which I filled with a lot of dance music, some of it recommended by Kai, for the potluck and dance party Saturday night. So, there’s some Christian dance music on there, and there are songs from different eras, so that it’s inclusive of all ages. My list was sorted in alphabetical order by Title. First, I played a dance remix of John Legend’s All of Me, and then the original. We listened briefly to APT, but then saw Dancing Queen, and loved singing with ABBA, music from our era, and I remembered that Madonna had sampled that ABBA song (Gimme, gimme, gimme from 1979) in her dance song, Hung Up in 2005 on her Confessions on a Dance Floor album. That sent us down a rabbit hole to Taylor Swift somehow. And, you’ll see we gave Ian (new to Taylor Swift, idk how) a big overview of Taylor Swift’s varied styles of music, especially some fun songs to dance and sing with. We talked b...
