Fun for all, with songs and silliness from the chorus and local quartets.
Members of Western Hospitality Singers attended the 100th anniversary Vimy Ridge commemoration at the Royal Canadian Legion Centennial Branch Sunday April 9th.
They performed the anthems O Canada and God Save The Queen, plus other chorus repertoire.
The Canadiana medley and The Maple Leaf Forever were particularly appreciated by the audience, many of whom were singing along.
In turn, our WHS guys sang along with Legion members on Pack Up Your Troubles and It’s A Long Way to Tipperary!
On Wednesday, January 11th, members of WHS again visited the Calgary Food Bank as volunteer workers.
This time they had a little something extra to contribute, in addition to their labour.
On behalf of Western Hospitality Singers, the volunteers presented a donation to assist the Food bank in its worthy efforts.
A cheque representing the $ 5,000.00 net proceeds of our Christmas shows was given to Food Bank CEO James Mc Ara.
First there's work - then it's not unusual for singing to break out.
A number of Western Hospitality Singers members sang for patients and their families at six Calgary hospices in the evenings of December 6th, 7th, and 8th.
The number of men who joined in a VLQ (Very Large Quartet) varied between 9 and 13 each night.
This is an annual outreach project for the chorus, sponsored and organized by the Bearspaw Lions Club.
We appreciate the opportunity to share the gift of song with those having a difficult Christmas season.
Many men from our chorus took part in delivering a very special outreach once again this Christmas season. They visited six Calgary-area hospices to provide terminally ill patients with some moments of reflection, remembrance and respect through a gift of music.

Alberta Harmony Platoon 2015, sponsored by Western Hospitality Singers, was held in Red Deer at Wild Rose Harmonizers' rehearsal venue, the Church of Christ in Davenport on May 2nd. Twenty-one singers from four Alberta choruses attended, singing one song drawn from four prepared songs in luck of draw quartets, for three rounds.
Welcome! We look forward to seeing you, and perhaps singing with you in a quartet. (Quartets are established by ‘luck of the draw’, so if we don’t get into a formal quartet, maybe we can sing one or more of the songs informally.)
