Mollyockett Chorus

The historic town of Paris Hill was a beautiful location to sing for the Paris Hill Music Festival in
August. We enjoyed a sunny day performing on the green. In September, we returned to The Sawyer
Memorial in Greene, ME, for two shows and a week later performed at the Norway First Universalist
Church. It was great to be so warmly received at both venues by enthusiastic audiences. Sneaking a
peak past the director and seeing audience members singing along is always heartwarming.

In November, we had the privilege of
singing “At Last” for our member Jan
Ward’s daughter and hubby-to-be at their
rehearsal dinner at Brian’s Restaurant in
Bethel. Amazing how the din of other
dinners went silent a few measures into
the song. Restaurant guest requested that
we keep singing, but we were on our way
to join other musical groups and sing at
the “Coffee House” at the Bethel Congo
Church, a few blocks away

.The first Friday in December, we got into the Christmas spirit early when we went Christmas caroling
in the shops on Norway’s Main Street, providing holiday cheer for the local shoppers. The following
Friday we were the invited entertainment for the Norway Library Holiday Open House. The Chorus
and the audience had a very merry time.

Our last event for 2017 was our annual Christmas Pot Luck Party and Yankee Swap. A time to
appreciate the friendships and love we share with our “sisters in song” in the Mollyockett Chorus. We
wish all of our “sisters in song a Happy and Healthy New Year!

The Mollyockett Chorus is thankful for our new director, Simon Smith, who is adding his musical
talents to rehearsals and great interpretation to our music. We will be celebrating Simon’s first
anniversary with the chorus in January.
