One of these was commissioned by the Goderich Rotary Club for the Laketown Band, "Snug Harbour': It was written by a local musician from Hen- sall, Jeff Smallman. The MacKay Choristers, under the direction of Linda Street, and accompa- nied on piano by Deborah Bailey, performed five numbers, each with a Canadian connection. They began their set with A Small Child, composed by Robert B.. Anderson, son-in-law of the Choris- ters' founding director, Irla Stewart. They also included a tale, sung in French, of a ban- ished young rebel, "Un Canadien Errant" which opened with a beautiful solo by tenor, Roy Price. The Choristers concluded their set by wowing their audience with "We Rise Again" featuring their . director, Linda Street, as the soloist. The Suncoast Brass quar- tetthen took the stage and thrilled the audience with five selections, and their vir- tuosity was well in evidence. Al Mullin, fascinated all during St. Louis Blues with the wa-wa effect with the trumpet plunger mute. Their performance of "Blue Rondo a la Turk" was both amazing to hear and to see. The timing on this piece was extremely intri- cate and the audience loved it. The Goderich Har- bouraires Men's Choir, with Director,. Elizabeth Tolchard, and accompanist Cedric Abday, presented an interesting selection, which included a short, moving composition with guitar and drum accompa- niment, called "Skidegate Love Song", sung in the Haida language. They closed their group with Blue Rodeo's "Head Over Heels", with guitar accompaniment by Steve Dawe. The Harbouraires are celebrating their 70th Anniversary this year, and special recognition was given to Dave Medley, who has sung with this choir ever since its inception. The groups have been presenting Spring and Fall concerts for a number of years, and have perfected smooth transitions between groups. This year the transitions were made interesting by piano music performed by Louise Dockstader, Debo- rah Bailey and Cedric Abday. Each of these groups is made up of members who hail from Goderich and surrounding area, includ- ing, but not limited to, Bayfield, Clinton, Seaforth, and as far afield as Strat- ford. They are always look- ing for new members of any age. See page 21 for photos. District 8 AGM CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 19 Contributed photo Ann Andrew with prize winning floral displays.
