Upcoming Events for the
Hope Ginninderra Community Choir
The choir will resume on 12 Feb at 1pm. Note this is a Thursday and the practice session will be now be on Thursday afternoons from 1-2pm. We want to avoid people having to go out in the evening, especially later in the year when it is cold and dark. Also, because we can't use St Barnabas Church in the afternoon with other activities going on there, we have arranged to do our singing in the Community Centre at RSL Coral Park, 23 Burkitt street, Page. The dance group practiced there on occasions last year when Ridgecrest was unavailable. The choir has previously performed in the vicinity at Wanganella and Manunda. See the labelled Google Maps view below:

The theme for the songs we will be singing in the first half of the year will be Colours. We last did this back in 2018. Most of the songs we'll do are the same as we did then, though we will introduce three new ones. The list (*** note the new ordering as of April 16 ***) is:
- The Rainbow Connection
- Colours (as sung by Donovan with Nana Mouskouri on her 1970s TV show )
- Love is Blue/Look for the Silver Lining
- Lavender Blue
- Red Roses for a Blue Lady
- Blue Hawaii
- Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
- Greensleeves
- Yellow Submarine
- Blue Moon
- Yellow Bird
- Blue Skies
- Silver Threads Among the Gold (similar to the version by Jo Stafford)
- Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree
- Bye Bye Blackbird/White Cliffs of Dover
- Love's Guiding Light (new song, ours will be the first choir to sing)
Music sheets for some of the songs (those we are beginning our practice with) are available here.
Audio demos for those songs are available here.
We'll also do 4 dances around the colour theme: Colours of the Wind, Mellow Yellow, My Blue Heaven and Silver Threads & Golden Needles.
