Saturday 17 December
We’ve got both indoor and outdoor singing here, and you need to be Christmassy for both! Red binder (with possible extras for GG – see below). Dress in layers.... Plan to car-pool where you can.
12:45pm at Minoru Residence (Minoru/Gollner just south of Westminster Hwy) I think it’s pay parking. You will be asked to do a COVID test (standard RAT, I assume) or bring one you’ve done that morning, and be masked throughout. Interestingly enough, nothing shows online about visitor restrictions, but my assumption is that they would expect all visitors to have their vaccinations against COVID
(S) Laura, Amy (A) Brigid, Heather (T) Graeme , Don (B) Bernie
1-1:30pm - singing the following (though not necessarily in this order) – there will be two separate venues
Deck the Hall / O Christmas Tree
The Virgin Mary / O Little Town
possibly O Chanukah / White Christmas / JingleBell Rock
Silent Night / We Wish You a Merry Christmas
extricate ourselves when we can
**gathering by 2:15pm at Gilmore Gardens (4088 Blundell at No 1 Rd
– there is some visitor parking underneath from the Blundell entrance) Harry says you will be asked for vaccination proof - QR code from Gateway passport (I gather most folks have it downloaded); or any card showing two vaccinations. All visitors must be masked at all times.
(S) Laura, Amy, Pat, Rachel, Kathy, Karen, Susan if recovered (A) Genny, Liz, Kate, Heather (T) Graeme, Don, Chris (B) Harry (our host!) Bernie, Victor, Tony, Peter
2:30-3:15pm - singing the following (though not necessarily in this order)
Joy to the World / Hark the Herald /
Deck the Hall / O Christmas Tree
The Angel Gabriel / The Virgin Mary / O Little Town
Here we come a-wassailing
Carol of the Bells / JingleBell Rock
anyone Jewish? - O Chanukah / White Christmas / Rudolph
Silent Night / We Wish You a Merry Christmas
perhaps with a couple of readings...
**Bring A La Nanita / Mary Did You Know / Stable Dog – I don’t know how accessible the piano will be, but perhaps.... head down No 1 Rd, gathering at Richmond Museum (Moncton and First Avenue – give yourself time to find parking) before 4pm. Outdoor event; you may mask or not, as you please. It’s (sort of) under cover. Same folks as above, less Karen & Peter, plus AnnZ. Program much as above.
**4:05-4:30pm, because someone else is waiting to go on at 4:35pm. (And Richmond Singers are on at 5:05pm, if you can stay!)
By Saturday I will try to have program order and page numbers ready for you!CAROLING! Dress is FESTIVE and for the outdoor performance- WARM! bring your red binder, bells and hats and all that….
