These scans are for the annual concert for the 2003-2004 season held on Oct 25, 2003 at Chalmers United Church, Woodstock. These concerts used to be at the end of our season (May/June), but the decision was made to move it to the beginning of the season so that our energy could be focused on the Male Choral Festival typically held in April. This concert featured the Musica Sacra Chorus from Norwich as our guests.

As of the end of October 2003, John Oosterink took a year off (until October 2004), and Johann Van Ittersum stepped in as our interim director.

Fundraiser concert held at Central United Church on Nov 16, 2003 @ 7:30 PM. John Oosterink directed us for this concert.

Christmas Concert held at Maranatha CRC Woodstock on Dec 6, 2003 @ 7:30 PM. Johann's wife and sister also sang a duet.

Concert in Essex Christian Reformed Church, Essex on March 13, 2004, PM

These scans are for one of the first fundraiser concerts for the newly-established Christian radio station in Woodstock, FaithFM held on March 27, 2004. This was a joint effort featuring the Men of Praise, guitarist Jay Calder, the duet SisterSong (sisters Jenny and Angela) and Jane Valenta. It was truly a blessed evening with very gifted artists!

The advertising poster for the Male Choral Festival concert in Centennial Hall in London on April 10, 2004, hosted by the St. Thomas District Male Choir "Crescendo". This was the second time the festival was held here. as it is a very large hall with good facilities. The only drawback is there's no organ. The picture of the mass choir used in the poster is taken from the previous years festival held in Sarnia.

Fundraiser concert at Ebenezer CRC, Jarvis on April 24, 2004, PM.
