Invitations were sent to all previous Directors, members and friends of the chorus along with current members, thier families and friends.
The hall at the TAFE was set up by Neryl and her band of willing workers and looked great.
Here is a 'snapshot' of the wonderful display of Chorus Memorabilia set up by Karen, Jill, Neryl and Stephanie. All sorts of bits and pieces from T-shirts and photographs to Peter Nugus' 'Dancing Partner' from Arthur Murray days!
The first part of the program highlighted the current competition repetoire of Jazz Me Blues and Once Upon a Time with members wearing our black and green competition costume
This was followed by an invitation to family members to join us for the Family Chorus and the performance of our new 'mass sing' song Shelter.
Our new black velvet tops were worn for the first time in the second half of the program and looked very smart with their individual coloured flowers.
The six 20year members Marianne, Anne Dunn, Jill, Isla, Pamela Samms and Ilona were presented with their badges and went on to cut the cake which we enjoyed with coffee after the program (and went on to finish at rehearsal the next week!)
At the conclusion of the program, former members were invited to join us on the risers to sing 'How we Sang today!'
It was great to catch up with old friends - Peter is enjoying getting together with Jan and the two Helens!
And Anne renewing memories with Yvonne McColl, an early Director and Florence Rankin a chorus member from the 90's
Now we move on to the next twenty years!
