Here are a few more pictures from our performance this past Saturday, and a picture of the Keynotes Seniors' Choir whose spring show we were featured on.

Ten members of A Ca****la York performed as guests this afternoon at the Keynotes Seniors' Choir's spring show at the Newmarket Seniors' Meeting Place. A choir that had been scheduled to perform as guests had to back out last week because two few of their members were available, so A Ca****la York was asked to sub in. Luckily, all four parts were able to participate and we were delighted to have the opportunity!

Huge congratulations to Constructive Criticism for coming fourth in the Ontario District quartet competition on the weekend ─ just one point out of third place. The members of A Ca****la York were delighted that Constructive Criticism came to our practice on Wednesday to perform their competition set. Thanks, guys, come back any time!

At our Wednesday practice, chorus Secretary Rob Willatts presented Gerry Selkirk with his 66-year Barbershop Harmony Society membership renewal card. The members of A Ca****la York are delighted that Gerry achieved this milestone as a member of our chorus. Huge congratulations, Gerry!

The card also states that Gerry has recruited seven members into the Society over the years -- thus receiving seven "Person of Note Awards." That's an achievement Gerry deserves to be proud of!

A really fun night was had by the guests and members of the A Ca****la York chorus on our Guest Night. Director Ray Danley taught us the basics of barbershop style a ca****la and we all ended up on the risers singing together.

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance by the Constructive Criticism Barbershop Quartet. Huge thanks for coming to entertain us, guys!

And thank you to the guests who attended and all the volunteers who helped to make this a memorable night.

We are grateful to Bingo World and Gaming Newmarket and Newmarket Charitable Gaming Association for being our partners in the Charitable Gaming program, which helps make community nights like this possible.

One of our members (who wishes to remain anonymous) arranged for the Valentones quartet to serenade Director Barb Jones at her her home on Valentine's Day. Barb was clearly surprised when she saw who had rung her doorbell, and singing for her was one of the highlights of our day!

Recently, A Ca****la York celebrated director Dr. Ray Danley's 69th year with the Barbershop Harmony Society! During that time, Ray, a Doctor of Music, led the Scarborough Duke's of Harmony to 2 International Gold Medals, among his many other achievements, including 23 Person of Note awards for bringing in new members.
The look of joy on Ray's face every Wednesday inspires us all. Another ACY member with over 60 years in Barbershop said that he is still learning new things from Ray!!

Magic of Christmas – Giving Back! 🎄

Our 2025 Christmas concert truly lived up to its name.

Thanks to the generosity of our audience, we raised over $1,600 for Harmonize for Speech and collected a wonderful haul of food, toys, and cash donations to support local families in our community.

Moments like this remind us of why we sing — to bring people together and give back where it matters most.

Thank you for being part of the magic. ❤️🎶

Yesterday, the "Mistletones" quartet members - (left to right) myself, Jim Price, Ron Geno and Ryan Jagoe - were delighted to be able to sing once again at the Southlake Hospital's annual Patients' Christmas party. Following that, we entertained the residents of the Delmanor Aurora retirement home. The quartet is most grateful for the opportunities to convey the Christmas spirit in song!
