The date for the annual Peer Sing has been set for November 9.
This is an opportunity for the choirs conducted by the members of Community Choir Conductors group to perform for each other and to sing as a massed choir…..some 200 voices!
Always a spectacular afternoon followed by an time for socialising and hanging out with likeminded folk.
The event is not open to the public, though family members of choir participants are welcome.

Yes Choir Camp…..not Band Camp….that would be a whole other movie!
Te Tira will be joining Peace’n’Choir, based at Mt Nebo and The Straddie Singers for North Stradbroke Island for a weekend of singing, singing and well, more singing!
Actually there will be some body percussion thrown in there for good measure just to keep us on our toes! Renowned percussionist GREG SHEEHAN will be facilitating one of the three workshop sessions across the weekend.
It bodes to be a fabulous time for all.
We will be at Camp Bornhoffen near Natural Arch for the June weekend. By all reports a beautiful place and the PCYC facility is well appointed providing bunkhouse accommodation and full commercial kitchen.
Can’t wait!
Till next time….. just sing!

Te Tira and two other community choirs are in the early stages of planning a weekend away!
Exciting stuff! We’ll workshop, sing, eat, visit glow worms, do the whole camp fire thing, hang out with like-minded folk and generally have an awesome time!
If this sound like something you’d like to get in on…..come and join Te Tira!!!

It may be raining an awful lot in Brisbane of late, however, bar one night where I couldn’t leave my home due to landslides and there was no power to our rehearsal venue, there has been nothing but sunshine when the choir comes together.
We have a couple of new members which is always fantastic, though no doubt a little daunting for them! All good fun though.
So if you fancy a sing, a laugh and to meet new people, come along!
