What a great Holiday Party we had last night. It was wonderful seeing so many new faces, and a few we haven't seen in a while. Big Thanks to Basses Unlimited, Family Ties and Sound Byte for singing for us, and to our resident Quartets TNQ and Replacement Parts. We brought an end to 2014 by recognizing a few individuals who made an impact on our success throughout the year. Steve Fast won the Commuter Award for travelling from Hamilton each week, while still finding time to post recordings of rehearsals on the website. Jesse Cohoon was instrumental in organizing our involvement at the Sing! Festival, and is our Master Liaison. And a very special Unsung Hero Award went to Janet Heise for being one of our biggest supporters. Janet has been at every event, performance, and competition East York has been involved in and we greatly thank her. Finally, our Barbershopper of the Year was Geoff Shields for the countless hours of organization and communication put in to our new website, www.eybs.ca. Geoff really went above and beyond this year in a number of areas and a great deal of our success is thanks to him.
And of course we awarded 14 prizes to our lucky draw winners. Thanks to all who bought tickets and supported us! All in all, a great end to a great Year! We can't wait to see what 2015 brings. Until then, we would like to wish all of our friends, family and fellow Barbershoppers the very best over the Holiday season and a prosperous New Year!
