If you’re looking for a toe-tapping, hand-clapping, and uplifting experience, come and join the three Just in Time Vocal Jazz Choirs this weekend.
On Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at the Comox Pentecostal Church, Just in time will present Up! Tickets are $15 (children five and younger get in free) and available from the Laughing Oyster Bookstore in Courtenay and Videos N More in Comox.
Since September 2005, Just in Time has been bringing songs and entertainment to the Comox Valley. However, what separates this concert from previous performances are the tangible, infectious good vibrations and positive feelings running though the group.
With a song selection featuring Accentuate the Positive, Walking on Sunshine, I Love Bein’ Here With You and On the Sunny Side of the Street, it is hard not to be swept Up! with the group.
II think that when we spend time thinking about and singing positive messages, we cultivate more positive feeling in ourselves,” says choir director Wendy Nixon Stothert.
“The personal connections between the singers are strengthening in each of the three Just in Time ensembles, which makes singing together a lot more fun!”
The sentiment of fun and good vibes is echoed throughout the group.
First-time performer Skye Myrbo-Hill finds it “freeing” and sixth-time performer Heather Greger finds this inspirational session makes her happy. Longtime member Doug Hillian says that, “No matter what kind of day it’s been, it is always worth coming out — this is what life should be like!”
This concert will feature the smooth accompaniment of Sean Mooney on keys, Tim Croft on bass, Jacob Gregory on drums, with a guest appearance by saxophonist Roger Collin.
