Evidence of this is shown in their strong performance at thc Kiwanis Music Festival in London on April 13. This was a new experience for many of the choir memlbers. They received an excellent mark, but more importantly the choir gained many helpful ideas from adjudica- tor, Dennis Schaefer, from Sas- katchewan. Schaefer said that it was obvious that the choir enjoyed working with the conductor, and that they sang with great assurance. Thc people of South Huron will have an opportunity to hear the choir, when they present their sec- ond annual spring concert - "A Spring Bouquet". This will be held May 14 at 7:30 p.m. and May 15 at 2:30 p.m. at South Huron District High School. They say variety is the spice of life, and variety is a key ingredient in a New Huronia Concert. This "Spring Bouquet" will in- clude music from a wide spectrum - from George Fredrick Handel to An- drew Lloyd Webber. In addition to Handel, and music from "Cats", there will be a seg- ment called "Images of the Past" - a grouping of five songs that will be familiar to most. An added feature will be guest flu- tist Suzanne Thomas, of London, who plays with the Fanshawe Community Players, and teaches flute in the London area. New Huronia Concerts are always well attended, so be sure to get your tickets early. They are available at The Feather Tick, MacLeans, Deco- rators Touch Plus or from any choir member, or by calling 235-2865. In addition to preparing for their May concert, the choir is getting organized for their annualgarage and bake sale to be held on April 30. This will take place at 338 An- drew St., Exeter between thc hours of 8:00 a.m., and 12:00 noon. Congratulations to Susan, Julie and the New Huronia Singers for their solid performance in London!
