These people look like perfect candidates for DCAT - wish they had joined! (Including Ann - we miss you!)
Rehearsals at the Legion: (photos by webmaster)
On February 14 (Valentine’s Day!) we all gathered at the Legion. No, not for any romantic purposes. Wyatt had decided, quite correctly, that we needed more than the regular Wednesday practices to get ready for GAS this year. Actually, it’s his fault for making such wonderfully complicated arrangements of the songs! This was a great place for rehearsals, a room big enough for us to form a circle so that we could hear the other sections, and with an adjoining kitchen where Dolly made coffee - yum!
Since Wyatt will not be able to attend all our rehearsals, Rick was present to be ready to take over. Although it may not be as smooth as expected:
“This is how it will be!”
“Oh, wait a minute!” “No, this is it!”
“I still think it would make more sense to ….”
“Hmph! I don’t think so!”
I’m sure everything will be fine in the end. (?)
The Legion was decorated for Valentine’s Day and we happily (?) chewed on our home-made lunches during the break, surrounded by red hearts:
And, of course, as any self-respecting Legion, they had a bar in the basement and DCAT knows what to do there!
Although there was a bit of controversy there, too:
“Hey, bub! I think that’s mine!”
“Just ask her!”
Oh, I’m sure we’ll have it all sorted out in the end. To be continued…
The following Wednesday, Wyatt was not available and Rick couldn’t make it to Toronto through the snow, so Sandy Hale took over and did a splendid job getting us through several songs!

Wyatt: this is part of our choreography for next year, right? In that case, we WILL top this year’s performance. Yay!

The Cameron’s 50th wedding anniversary
In November we had a concert at a Senior’s Home north of Toronto and to avoid getting caught in rush hour traffic, we started early and spent the hours before show time having a meal at a pub with television screens - important because of the Blue Jays:
DCAT entertained the people lined up to get into the Zoomer Show at the Exhibition grounds:
“Big Girls”
We performed at Briton House, Toronto, in November 2015:
At our performance at Briton House we also met a great supporter of DCAT for many years: Mary Moloney! A wonderful surprise! Her husband Dan, who sang baritone in the Chorus and also was our treasurer for a short period of time, passed away in 2010. Here is Mary with with John and Dolly Fox as well as Marg Gill.
Christmas Party at Estonian House
Some of the toys we collected and later delivered to the Salvation Army for their Christmas Toy Drive - our annual tradition. And, below, an entertaining skit appreciated by the DCAT (in his place of honour,on the table) as well as by the audience.
Don Gill was given the title Honourary Member - well-deserved to say the least! And then down to the cafeteria for snack foods, drinks and singing!
