Year 10- 2003/04
The 10th anniversary year was eagerly anticipated as a season of celebration. A new look was introduced new uniforms for all choirs and plans were laid for an exciting season that included the following events:
The guest appearance of the Elmer Iseler Singers at the Christmas concert
-A special performance for Seniors, of the Community Carol Sing sponsored by Tim Horton’s
-A daylong birthday celebration culminating in an evening gala concert featuring guest mezzo-soprano Norine Burgess and the debut of the alumnae choir
-The release of the third CD, “Celebrating 10 Years” featuring the best of 10 years worth of concerts
-Oakville Sings”, a concert hosted by the OCC with performances by eight other Oakville Choirs
-Introduction of the overnight summer camp, sponsored by the Community Foundation of Oakville
In the middle of this activity, the Senior and Chamber choirs received word from the CBC that they were finalists in the National Radio Competition for Amateur Choirs. They traveled to Toronto on April 27 and 28 to participate in the live broadcast finals and each placed 2nd in their respective categories.

To top the year off, when the Senior Choir traveled to Germany for the 3rd Choir Olympics, they achieved Gold Standing and placed third in the Children’s Choir Class. The Oakville Children’s Choir could truly be said to have come of age.
