East York Community Guest Night
Posted On: Sep 17, 2024

Wow, what a turn out! Thanks to all the guests that came out for the night. It was a lot of fun sharing our hobby with all of you, and we're glad everyone followed along and tried a bit of singing.

Pat did a wonderful job guiding all of us through warm up; Eric was great at teaching us a tag; Geoff regaled us with interesting stories from the long history of our Chapter; and many thanks to all the East Yorkers that came together and help make this a great event. We hope to do more guest nights in the future, and we're always on the look out for singers!

Park Performance: Withrow Park
Posted On: Aug 13, 2024

Another week, another park! 

Once again it was nice to see a number of park goers stop by during our performance. It was also great to have a couple of chorus friends show up as well.

We'll be out and about singing for a couple more weeks!

Community Singout: Beaches

Hi Folks,

Due to the severe thunderstorm today, several areas in Toronto are experiencing flooding, and more with intermittent power outages. We are cancelling practice today because of this.

See yall next week!

EYBS Holiday Party 2023
Posted On: Dec 19, 2023

Merry Christmas! It was wonderful seeing friends and families gathered around us once again to celebrate the season with some good ole' holiday caroling. Mr. Penstone returns to us once again providing us with some top notch quality emcee-ing; much thanks to the lovely pianist Amanta for reprising her role this year; and we were joined by plenty of muscial guests as usual.

Following that, some familiar quartets: Constructive Criticism (with George Shields as a special guest!), and the Green Brothers with Opie and Pat.

A special solo, performed by Malisha - we've always been impressed by how good she sounds!

The ladies of Moving Parts and Moving Sparks joins us for a number or two (with a humorous take on how modern holidays are celebrated 📱)

and, saving the best for last, one of our final guests... Maple Reserve! (singing one of the only holiday songs in their repertoire... in a major key 😉)

Our favorite hippo hero shows up towards the end of the show... ðŸ¦›ðŸ¦›ðŸ¦›

and to close it off, everyone in the East York Barbershop family wishes yall a merry little Christmas now! See you in the New Year.

Singout at the Shops at Don Mills
Posted On: Dec 15, 2023
This past Friday we had the pleasure of singing for the folks at the Shops at Don Mills. It was a ton of fun, the crowd was great, and we saw smiles and cheers all around.
We'll be singing again on Thursday (12/21) and Friday (12/22) again next week from 4pm to 6pm. We hope you stay for a song or two if you're around during those times.

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday!
Happy 98th Birthday George!
Posted On: Dec 5, 2023
A very, very happy 98th birthday to our very own George Shields! During the break at last week's practice we celebrated with the chorus with some lovely cake courtesy of Mr. Green. It's always great singing together with ya, George! We look forward to singing more songs with you in 2024 =)
