Like most choruses, we are finishing our year off with a flurry of Christmas Shows with five performances in December in the lead up to Christmas. We have our usual stints at Stockland Mall, Baulkham Hills as well as a great concert at one of our local Probus Clubs in front of an appreciative audience of over 150 people. We also performed at St Pauls Seniors Group Christmas Luncheon and presented our Christmas show to the residents of Mark Donaldson House at Galston.

Our show consists of a mix of Christmas songs, some of our normal show songs and often includes individual performances by our MD Peter on his violin as well as Craig Rose, our resident Country and Western buff and one or two of our quartets. We invariably get complimented on how entertaining and varied our shows are. It certainly makes this great hobby of ours much more satisfying when you get this type of response.

This will cap off a great year for us where we have performed a record 23 times throughout the year.

Our imperative for the coming year is to boost our numbers and we have a number of new initiatives in the pipeline to help us do this.

Best wishes to all our Barbershop friends for the coming Christmas and New Year period.
