25.01.2022 Well that's 2019 done and dusted. What another wonderful year. Lots of great singing and many, many laughs (also a few tears). Finished up with an awesome performance at the RACV to honour our Uta. In the photo we're singing for our friends and families at our EOY function. (I am casting the "smiling spell" on everyone!!!..or perhaps someone made a mistake??) Back on deck on January 14, 2020 to prepare for our Australia Day performance. If you'd love to sing in an informal, positive and supportive setting, come and check us out!

24.01.2022 Surfside Singers are delighted to have just made a donation to the Bluebird Foundation, a community group that run (among other things) a children's choir in Geelong. Our donation will go towards purchasing music for a collaborative concert they will do with Orchestra Geelong at the end of this year. We are hoping to establish a permanent link with them and perhaps even sing with them in the future. Also looking forward to hearing their performance. It's wonderful to be able to help to share the joy of singing with others.

22.01.2022 Hi singers. Hope this post finds you well. Just letting you know that I have been thinking of you and REALLY missing our rehearsals. I think we'll have to make our first rehearsal back twice as long so that we can all catch up on each others lives. Take care and let me know if there's anything I can do for you, musical or other until we are together again. PLEASE let that be before the end of the year!! Fingers crossed. Erika

21.01.2022 Our choir members get around! Jeannie singing at the recent Blue Skies Music Festival in Canada. That's Jeannie on the end of the row. Wonderful!

20.01.2022 Happy Australia Day. The choir spent a lovely morning singing their hearts out at our local Australia Day/Citizenship Ceremony in the park. It was wonderful for our little singing community to share their passion and music with the wider community. A very uplifting event. Thanks also to the choir for their recent donation to the Bushfire Appeal.

20.01.2022 Rehearsals start for 2019 next Tuesday 29th January. New members most welcome. Come along and check us out. We rehearse at the Torquay Community House, Price Street from 5.30 - 7.00. Call or text Erika 0402 434 464 for more information or come and have a chat after our Australia Day performance on Saturday in Taylors Park. Starts at 10.00 a.m.

15.01.2022 This quick post is for anyone interested in joining the group once we are rehearsing again. Please feel free to call me for a chat about the group, or if you think this group might be for you, text me and the minute we start rehearsals again I'll contact you. Remember that the first session is free so you have a chance to come along and see if this group is for you. Looking forward to perhaps meeting you soon. Erika

15.01.2022 Quick update. Hoping that rehearsals will resume in Term 4 (October). Watch this space...

14.01.2022 Looking forward to seeing you there.

13.01.2022 What a wonderful afternoon of music! The ensemble thoroughly enjoyed sharing their passion and skill with a large attentive and appreciative audience. The afternoon tea wasn't half bad either. We also introduced the crowd to our new "look" - the gals looked gorgeous wearing their new scarves and the boys looked equally dashing in their teal coloured ties. What a good looking bunch they are!

09.01.2022 Hi everybody, Wow, what a year it's been! I have been pondering how we can meet again for a sing before the year is out. Given the risks of singing indoors (we don't have a venue anyway as all council run buildings are still closed) I am toying with the idea of running outdoor sessions once we can have more than 10 people together in an outdoor area.... Introducing "YODELING IN THE YARD". Here's the rough (infact, very rough) plan - meet at my abode, BYO music and chair, rehearse in our courtyard area (socially distanced), perhaps 4.30 - 6.00 so it'll be a little warmer and adjust arrangements to suit as we go once we've trialled the new system. Will give more thought to cost etc. if it looks like a goer. Might have to monitor numbers each week (it might only be 20 people for our next step into freedom), so maybe you'll have to email or text to let me know that you're attending I will email all existing members and contact the "newbies" I have promised to contact once we've taken that next step. Keen to know your thoughts.... Can't wait to have you all in front of me again crooning away and mesmerizing me with your gorgeous harmonies.

08.01.2022 Rehearsals have been suspended until things settle. Take care, stay well.

08.01.2022 We share our joy of singing all over the world. Vicki singing mit and conducting der Oom Pah Pah Band!

08.01.2022 We gather, we chat, we sing, we eat, we drink, we chat some more...it's not just about the singing. Sharing a meal after our rehearsal this week.

02.01.2022 That's a wrap....2018 done and dusted. A lovely evening was had by all last Tuesday. We ate, we drank, we chatted, we laughed and we sang. Next gig Torquay Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony. Great work everyone. Have a joyous and restful Christmas.
