Year 8- 2001/02

When rehearsals for the eighth season began, there was a new choir bringing the number within the OCC organization to five. The Boys Choir was formed with all boys from the other choirs to give them a chance to work together.

A big event near the start of the year was the launch party at the Glen Abbey Golf Club on November 15, 2001 of the OCC’s first two CD’s: “Home for the Holidays” by the Chamber Choir, and “Poets, Philosophers and Friends” by the Senior Choir.

This was followed by many exciting events in a very busy year. It was a year of many new initiatives:
First Community Carol Sing with proceeds to charity
First Celebrate Oakville
First Training Choir Festival hosted by Intermediate Choir
Beginning of Vocal Coaching
First year of Artists Spotlights (a collaboration with local artists to display their work on program covers)

The season wrapped up with the Senior Choir winning 2nd place in the Children’s Choir category at their first international choral competition, Kathaumixw, held in Powell River, British Columbia.
