SINGERS NEEDED For the Rockway Entertainers - Do you like to sing but don’t feel that you have the ability? That’s what everyone thinks! But we encourage you to give us a try.Can’t read music? …. that’s OK! Ella Fitzgerald said: “The only thing better than singing is more singing.” The Rockway Entertainers is a group of mainly seniors who sing a variety of music, in 4-part harmony. We normally perform one or two concerts per month, in the afternoons, at a seniors’ home or retirement home, as well as concerts in the spring and at Christmas. We sing primarily for pleasure and fun. We don’t stress about perfection, because providing toe-tapping and enjoyable entertainment is much more important. Practices are at the Rockway Community Centre, 1405 King St. E., Kitchener Thursday afternoons from 1:30 to 3:30. We meet from September to May (Yes, you’ll get the summers off!). Please feel welcome to attend a practice or two just to check us out. When you arrive, ask for Marilyn, Karl, or Jim. We are aiming to find an additional 25 members. For more information, please call the Rockway Community Centre office, 519-741-2507.
