Just a reminder that this is happening this Sunday, the 20th, coming up! So, if you'd like to sing with us, just contact us at [email protected] to get t...he zoom link! And let us know which time you'd like take part in! The 3:00 or the 6:30 pm time! For the past eight years, the Vallican Whole Community Choir and friends have hosted a Seasonal Singalong event for the community, on a Sunday afternoon in late December. Sadly this year getting together in person isn’t possible, but there is still a way to enjoy some music with friends and family! The choir will be hosting two virtual sing-alongs via Zoom on Sunday, Dec. 20, one at 3:00 pm and one at 6:30 pm. These events are free and open to anyone who wishes to participate. You are invited to put on your Santa hat, round up the people in your bubble, pour some beverages, and join in. We will be doing many of our traditional favourites, including the ever-popular interactive 12 days of Christmas! To take part, please send your request to [email protected] and you will be sent a link to the Zoom meeting, instructions and a PDF song sheet to print out. Please indicate if you want to join the earlier 3:00 session (approx. 45 minutes long, more targeted at adults) or the later session (approx. 30 minutes long, more targeted at families/kids), or both! Please be clear in your message if you want Session 1 at 3:00 or Session 2 at 6:30, or if you want both 1 & 2, so we can send you the correct link and song sheets!
