SING. CONNECT. BELONG. INSPIRE.
The 2024/25 Season
This season, we’re excited to introduce our new theme: Sing. Connect. Belong. Inspire. These words reflect the heart of the OOTB Chorus, where every voice matters, and everyone is welcome. Our goal is to explore music-making together, build connections, create a sense of belonging, and inspire one another along the way.
We look forward to sharing this journey with you in a supportive, inclusive community. Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning for another season, let’s make this year a truly special one.
September 10th - First Rehearsal
We’d love to kick off the season with a bit of a celebration, so please bring your favourite snack or treat to share. We’ll take a bit longer of a break to welcome new members and reconnect with old friends. OOTB will provide water and Buble.
Please bring your name tags to the first rehearsals. If you are new to OOTB, the OOTB Team will give you a name tag at the welcome table when you arrive.
Updated Members Documents
We’ve added a new ‘Guidelines & Expectations’ section to the Members Area, including our Code of Conduct/Rehearsal Etiquette, Attendance Guidelines, Inclusivity Statement, and an OOTB Sheet Music Guide. You’ll find them on the Members Area home page under the sheet music and newsletter links. Please read through them carefully, as this will ensure all members are on the same page starting September 10th.
Sing & See! Invite Your Friends
Do you have friends who love to sing or are curious about joining a choir?
Invite them to register for a Sing & See! It’s a great opportunity for them to experience our welcoming choir community and see if we’re the right fit.
‘A Queen Tribute!’
We’ll start the season by learning this rocking ‘Tribute to Queen’
The sheet music is now available in the Sheet Music & Practice Audio section of the Members Area, and practice audio will be available soon.
Please print this and the other ‘Carry Over’ songs and bring it to the first rehearsal.
Note: If you are a returning member, you are welcome to use printed materials from past seasons.
