Thanks to the committee who managed everything behind the scenes and kept us on track. Thank you everyone for being so enthusiastic and joyful throughout the year. Thanks to Deborah for playing for us this year, her skill at catching the choir when things are going sideways and her playful nature that makes rehearsals so much fun. I hope you are all looking forward to 2025.

This coming Tuesday 19th November is our final rehearsal for the year! The following rehearsal on 3rd Dec will be our End of Year get-together and Sing for Family and Friends.

While we do not have a concert to sing in next week end, we do have an invitation to attend the Australian Voices album launch and concert on Saturday 23rd November. John Rotar, composer and musical director has sent a note:

I wanted to share with you our discount code : FRIENDSOFTAV, which will get you a discount with any ticket purchased online (links below). Here is the facebook event : https://www.facebook.com/events/1240117500631484 Here is the direct ticket link : https://events.humanitix.com/the-australian-voices-album-launch-toowoomba

Hope to see lots of Choirbolical folk there 🙂

Unfortunately the concert planned for 24th November has been postponed until March 23rd next year. A number of people in the host choir Voicemale and another choir were not able to attend or ill, so they decided to do the Toowoomba Homeless Project justice by postponing.

OUR own Family and Friends concert will be on Tuesday December 3rd. This will celebrate our end of year. Bring a plate to share on the lawn outside from 5.30pm. Concert will begin at 7pm. ALL WELCOME.
