Our Last Full Day in Windsor

Feb 05, 2013

Today was an action-packed day for the CCC! After a rehearsal in the morning we ventured out to the Village of Aspen Lake and did a little concert there. It was so much fun for the audience and for the singers!

After the Village, we came back to All Saint’s Anglican Church for our combined concert with the Windsor Classic Chorale. It was a blessing to be able to rehearse and perform with such a great choir from this area. Thank-you, WCC for joining us for this evening of song!

Our time in Windsor ends tomorrow after a workshop at Sandwich West Public School. Next stop, St. Thomas!
