Why Do We Sing at the GJS? |
|
Some of our members share why they want to belong to this vibrant community choir: "I joined the GJS to meet community members who share my love of music, but what I found was a wonderful friendly group of friends who work very hard together to produce a high standard of music while having the best fun. GJS has become the centre of my social circle and it gives back to the community at large throughout the year". "Joining the GJS in 2007 was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Nothing quite compares to creating music with a group of like-minded people: the feeling of camaraderie, friendship, and being a small part of something larger than yourself. After practice, I head home on a high-it must be the endorphins! I feel at peace, calm, and exhilarated, all at the same time. This feeling stays with me during the week, as I catch myself humming phrases from various pieces."
"Singing with this choir is good for one's soul!" "I find the choir practices are a real escape from daily stresses. I'm always learning, and the music feeds my soul." "I am so glad that a friend asked me to join the GJS. It is so enjoyable, and good for the soul!" "Choir has been a blessing, as my children have grown, and we are facing the 'empty nest syndrome'. I have always enjoyed singing, but the fellowship I have found with the GJS has been an added bonus." "I enjoy choir singing. It helps improve any voice, and is challenging. It keeps the brain working!" "For this working person, Wednesday choir practice is a tension relief after a week's work. No pressure…just relax and sing your heart out!" "Whenever I hear the GJS, I would see the joy and love of singing on the choir members' faces. I knew I had to join, too. It's the most fun I've had making music in years!" "I enjoy the opportunity to sing with wonderful direction and accompaniment. Our director gets the best out of everyone." "An evening of singing always involves fun, laughing, working hard." "Singing with the GJS is good for what ails you!" Couples are well represented and enjoy being together in the GJS Choir:
