When the Colborne Township Choir Per-
forms at the Colborne Sesquicentenial
celebeatione on the weekend of July 18-20,
it will be the culmination of many long
months of hard work.
The project was begun in late March of
this year. About 45 people, residents and
former residents of Colborne Township,
were recruited to harmonize for the Se-s-
quicentenial celebrations
Clare -Ann Jewel was selected to
organize the choir and had little trouble
finding the necessary number of in-
dividuals to„ fill the risers. The singers
range in age from a university student tp
several senior citizens.
Practices were begun in April with
Shirley Dustow, who has taught music in
area schools for some 25 years, directing
andIrene Millian, trying to divide her time
between the Jolly Millers and the choir, ac-
companying. Along with the Monday even-
ing sessions, a number of brush -up con-
certs were held to give the group perfor-
mance experience. They were invited to
several centres in the area .including
Auburn, Nile and Benmiller.
The choir, comprised of soprano, alto,
tenor and bass sections, boasts a wide
variety of music in its repertoire, both
secular and religious —the latter being the
reason that they were in demand to per-
form at area churches. The secular music
that the group has learned includes such
favorites as "Morning Has Broken" and
"This Land."
The choir will be singing on the Saturday
of the Sesquicentenial weekend at the Beef
Barbeque. A number of other performers
will be featured then as well, including the
GDCI Jazz Choir.
The Colborne Choir can be seen again on
the Sunday of the Sesquicentenial weekend
when they take part in the outdoor Church
Service at 2:00 pm.
Ovei 40 voices strong, the Colborne Choir performed at an outdoor
church service at the Benmiller Conservation Area on Sunday, July
6. It was one of several "brush -up" concerts that the group had
prior to performing at the Colborne School and the outdoor service
for the Colborne Sesquicentennial weekend.(photo by Paul
