"These people love to sing. They're co-operative and eager all the time, says Hugh Martin, the director. 'All my life I have wanted to be a singer. I guess there's a little bit of ham in me, too, be- cause I love stage acting," said Nancy Jeyes, the mother of children who manazes to. fauuuay night re ieee while her husband veteran members, make their outings to the practices a social event. » "Instead of going in two dif- places, we both go out together. The Society is a husband-and- wife affair," said Mrs. Downs. A year before their. marriage 11 years ago, Wes and Greta attended rehearsals together regularly. GIVE IT ALL "We put everything we've got into our singing and we some- times lose ourselves in our parts," said Velda Allin, who was encouraged to join the group by her husband Mr. Allin ie 2 orann.cingine mai, mis wife says. She says the society is particularly at- tractive to men because of the wide range of male parts. Betty Hancock says she: gets good training as a member of the Choral Society, and Dr. Roy Beckett, president of the So- use of the group's talent. "One of our big projects for the year will be our trip to Expo 67 for a two-night per- formance in Montreal," said Dr. Beckett. The Society hopes to promote Canadian culture with strictly Canadian songs by composers of the same nationality. What could be more representative of Canada than songs of her early settlement and _ inhabi- tants full of passion and adven- ture in a new land? FRUVIDE LEADERSHIP These 45 nightingales have been nestling under the secure wing:of the Oshawa Recreation committee, a civic fianced organization. Wendell Brewster, City Rec- reation director and a member ed the ORC - Oshawa Choral Society alliance this way: "They work through our com- mittee so that their function can be made possible. "We provide them with lead- ership and facility assistance-- in turn, certain revenues from the society's public programs come back to us to make our support possible. One point should be understood, however ~-- we do not provide any direct financial assistance." However, wus MCuRuEK TKDE into a world full of expectations, is an independent move by So- ciety members. The executive is' 'hoping to find a Montreal sponsor to help with accommodation expenses ($1,200) and travelling expenses ster their sauce. The members have the back- ing of professional guides -- a musical director and a pianist, provided by the department. But the coralists are ready for the move. They have held the highest points for mixed choral groups at the Ajax-Pick- ering Music Festival for the past two years. They also par- ticipated in the Oshawa Folk Festival last summer, singing assorted choral pieces at the Nehawa Bs A Thev t sting artists with the Cehawe Symphony Or- chestra three years ago. Coming closer to home, the Oshawa Choral Society is pre- paring a Gilbert and Sullivan stage show, "Pirates of Pen- ($800). And they are approach-zance"', for next Feb. 2, 3, and legiate. CLASSICAL SELECTIONS Some of the lively classical selections are: Hail Poetry; I Am the Very Model of a Mod- ern Major General; and A Roll- icking Band of Pirates, We. "Should the Folk Festival materialize next summer, we will be there,' said Dr. Beckett. Another activity, suggested by the recreation department, is ristmas carolling. "Apart from larceny, you nave our niessing tm earn money by any means possible," said Wendell Brewster, City di- rector of recreation. "Because of a lack of organ- ization last year, we went into the red," said the president. But money worries slipped out of mind temporarily as the into place with the singing so- ciety. CULTURE IS NEEDED The emergence of the Osh- awa Choral Society as a top- flight organization, one worthy of representing The Motor City, stresses once again that Osh- awa has much to offer in the way of cultural attractions. The society's personnel in- cludes a good cross-section of the city, including. several pro- fessional people who find the Kivups icucarcas anu puuus appearances a weicome escape from the tedium of daily busi- ness life. The choral society thus takes its place alongside such time- tested groups as the Oshawa Little Theatre and the Oshawa branch of the Canadian Concert Such organizations have long been in the forefront on the City's cultural front, especial- ly in the dim, distant' past when support was negligible and apathy reigned supreme, The situation has changed much for the better, not only with the constantly growing at- tendances at such events, but with the opening of such show- places as the new auditorium of the Eastdale Collegiate, one of Oshawa's finest show places. 'Thus far the Oshawa Choral Society is Usnawa's jone musi- cal entry for the world's fair in-Montreal. That . is why the ambitious members are anxious to put their best foot forward on this auspicious - occasion. so that Oshawa can be well represented.
