The Ladybirds have had a rather busy schedule of late. This is normal for the Christmas Season, of course, as the group is often invited to entertain for various Christmas celebrations in the local area.

The Ladybirds Entertain The Notables

One of the first Christmas performances was for the Notables Organ Club. Their Annual Christmas Quarterly Party was held on December 2nd at the Ponderosa Steak House. The Notables had a dinner there and an annual fund raiser – Silent Auction. Their featured entertainment was the Ladybirds Barbershop Harmony Singers…

The final Christmas sing out was held on December 18th at the Golden Living Center Nursing Home on Winifred Road. We entertained a nice group of the residents of the former Cumberland Nursing Home, including Charlie Chalkley, who is recovering from a system infection which affected the site of a previous knee replacement. Charlie and his wife were able to attend the Ladybird’s performance, though.

The Ladybirds held a rehearsal/picnic at Betty Twigg’s home in LaVale on Thursday, August 30. One would think we needed a social get-together because the rehearsal portion of this event didn’t happen, actually. The picnic did, however, as you can see from the pictures provided by Betty Twigg. After eating heartily, we sang briefly and just enjoyed being together, but singing was not the priority on this evening together. The food and company won out!

The Ladybirds had a great time practicing for the Valentine’s Day performances, though the main program for the chorus was canceled. We understand that we will be rescheduled in the near future, but of course Valentine’s will not be in vogue then.

Afternoon Delight met at Shirley Carson’s house and called a number of people who had ordered Singing Valentine’s Day greetings for their loved ones. The recipients of the calls were delighted with their musical valentine, and it was fun for the Afternoon Delight Quartet to make these people happy!
