Festive Spring” on Saturday even
ing, April 29 at Blyth Memorial
Hall. On Sunday, the Festival
Singers travelled to Owen Sound

Westside United Church.
A small but enthusiastic Blyth
audience heard a wide variety of
music. There were four joint choir
selections, and each choir also sang
two groups of individual numbers.
Brass quartets in both Blyth and
Owen Sound added much to the
occasion for the opening and final
selections, as did audience partici
pation.
There was a premiere perform
ance of the Festival Singers’ theme
song written by Mary Hearn with
music by Angus Sinclair. Tuxedo
Junction sung by the Festival
Singers was accompanied on the
drums by Gary Shouldice and on
the bass by Bruce Pulsifer. At the
conclusion of the Owen Sound
concert, an encore of “Mine Eyes
Have Seen the Glory of the Coming
of the Lord”, sung by both choirs,
the audience, directed by David
Tupper, with Angus Sinclair on the
organ and brass and piano accom
paniment brought the evening to
an enthusiastic close.
President Ann Coulter noted that
joint concerts such as were held
last weekend provide a wonderful
opportunity for choirs to enjoy
music together. The Festival Sing
