Waiting for the balloon to go up. |
All four of our choirs - Two Bays, Simply Irresistible, Making Waves and Indigo Singers - were performing which requires our inestimable Director to juggle four repertoires, not to mention scarf management.

The special guest this year was Kathryn Sadler and it is her song "Synergy" that we are to present to the audience at the end of the day.

It was inspiring to learn technique for voice and enunciation as we became familiar with the song, not to mention the inspiration for its creation. Kate conducted the choir, Vox Synergy in the Battle of the Choirs and wrote the song to lift the spirits when the choir looked as though they would not have the necessary resources to keep going.
We were interested to see the new Music Centre built at Toorak College since we were there last year. It's certainly a splendid facility for the students at the school. The usual concurrent choir sessions were presented during the afternoon, and it was possible for us to perform and then listen to a couple of other choirs.

Then there was dinner afterwards at 'Spoons' in Mt Eliza.
