CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY TRAIN BEACONSFIELD

2010-11-22T13:15:00.000-08:00

Saturday November 27 at 2:45 pm, a decorated Christmas train stopped at Beaconsfield Train Station which was transformed into an outdoor performance area for musicians The Odds and Les Freres Dube; They sang on a stage that popped down from the train, as little kids rocked with Santa frolicking on stage..

From 2:00 pm, Over the Top quartet and some men from Island City Chorus sang Christmas carols in front of the train station to volunteers and people coming to see the train. OTT also moved indoors while the crowd was rocking to entertain people who came in to warm up their toes.

The train also collected foods and donations for the Moisson Montreal Food Bank.

Hot chocolate anyone?

Oh what fun it is to sing, a sleighing song tonight, with sparkly red sequined Elf Hats....and long white braids (see below).

re: Canada Day Hudson:

Just wanted to let you know that it was a real thrill and an honour for OTT to have been give the opportunity to sing Oh Canada at the opening ceremonies yesterday at Hudson's festivities.

We had a lot of fun and good memories.

Sincerely, Marian Morkill

Marian,

The thrill and the honour was ours.... your group is fabulous... thank you so much for coming and singing for us.

Canada Day Celebration

2010-07-02T08:35:00.000-07:00

Here's a photo of our snazzy new converse shoes on Canada Day performance in Hudson.
OTT was invited to sing Oh Canada in 4 part harmony, and we didn't get rained on!

Hope your CANADA DAY celebrations were awesome. We even had the Queen in Canada for the day; singing "God Keep Our Land Glorious and Free" never felt so right on - in spite of all the criticisms we can throw at our government, the tar sands, our record on health and welfare of women and aboriginals, we are still an Awesome Country to Live In.
