mcchoir - "we don't have to be ordinary"

How great was it to get together for our first rehearsal and Vocal Workshop. From the very start of the night everyone was interacting and getting to know one another and there was a real sense of community. The venue was set and I think there were a few surprised faces when people entered the space. It was so good to hear comments like "I've found my place" & "I think I'll just have to register for the whole year" because one of our values is to 'belong' people first, so that they feel comfortable and able to experience mcchoir and develop their craft. 

It was amazing singing with the live band towards the end of the night and a big thankyou goes to Dayna and Jared for jamming with us. Thanks Dayna also for sharing your birthday night with us as well. Antonio Ramos also took some great shots (thanks Antonio) and we did a rough recording of the new Shawn Mendez song "Life of the Party"which sounds amazing especially given most of you had never heard the song before - you can listen to the recording on our homepage.  I love the line that says "we don't have to be ordinary" because my vision for mcchoir is that we will be much more than ordinary - that we will be extraordinary. If you missed out on the launch - don't foget to check us out! Choir has changed and remember your first rehearsal is FREE!

There was such a buzz the whole night and one of the highlights for me personally was catching up with so many people that I haven't seen in many years, as well as having work colleagues and family and friends come and share the night with us. This week you are in for another great night as we will be learning a new arrangement of the king of pop's song "Man in the Mirror" that you are going to love. One comment we had during the week after someone had heard our recording online, was how long had we been together. They had a very surprised expression on their face when we told them that it was our first rehearsal - they couldn't believe it!

A big thankyour to Dayna and Bianca from Bianca Fenn School of Music for the use of their premises. These guys are amazing and together with Ezekiel (mcchoir accompanist) we did a radio spot at Plenty Valley FM 88.6 during the week with Denise Kutchmar. Keep an eye out for the video recording of the interview coming soon. Thanks Denise for giving us some time to tell our community about this fresh and exciting choir for adults (16+).

Be sure to register on line if you havent done so already and see you all Thursday night 7:30pm for another exciting rehearsal together. Invite your friends - we really need more guys to fill out our tenor and bass line.
