A group of 12 men met each week to simply sing and enjoy each other\u2019s company. It was a wonderful time spent together gathered around a piano in the living room, with borrowed music and a few harmonic attempts. It was in the fall of 2002 that the idea of doing something more began and soon the chorus began to grow and expand and actually emerged to perform for the general public.<\/p>\n<p>Now approaching 36 members, it has remained true to its ideals \u2026 to come together and sing. Concerts and performances are secondary to the opportunity to work together, to learn about music and to enjoy each other\u2019s company.The chorus attempts to obtain the best music published for the male chorus at its level. It has a wide range of music: from Broadway, to Folk Songs, to Church and even comedy numbers. The chorus could be singing Doo-Wop and then turn around and work in Latin. It is all part of the experience of being a member.<\/p>\n<p>The Men of the Tay meets each Monday from the second or third week of September to the second week of June. The rehearsals start at 7:00 PM and end promptly at 9:00 PM.<\/p>\n<p>Rehearsals are held in the sanctuary at St. James the Apostle (Anglican) Church, 12 Harvey Street Perth, Ontario K7H 1W4. Both choirs normally recess from the end of their Christmas Concert through to the last week of January. The return date flexes a bit depending on the availability of the music, rehearsal space and other membership \/ music concerns.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date<\/strong>\u00a0:<\/p>\n<p>Monday, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>June 4<\/strong><\/span>, 2018<\/p>\n<p><strong>Event location<\/strong>\u00a0:<\/p>\n<p>St. James Anglican Church<br \/>\n12 Harvey Street, Perth, ON K7H 1W4<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact\u00a0<\/strong>: E-mail: <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"musicofthetay@gmail.com\">musicofthetay@gmail.com<\/a><\/span><br \/>\nWebsite: <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.musicofthetay.org\/\">http:\/\/www.musicofthetay.org\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Perth\u2019s Citizen\u2019s Band Concert<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3575 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/files\/2017\/07\/10-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"463\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/files\/2017\/07\/10-1.png 721w, https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/files\/2017\/07\/10-1-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A series of Summer Pops Concerts at the Perth Legion that continues on throughout the summer!

Many people send or give cards or gifts to their fathers. It is a relatively modern holiday so different families have a range of traditions. Father\u2019s Day is not a federal public holiday in Canada. It falls on a Sunday, which is a day off for many workers so many offices and stores are closed. However, some shopping precincts and stores, as well as restaurants, cafes and entertainment venues, may be particularly busy on Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>There are some suggestions that the idea of Father\u2019s Day may originate in pagan sun worship. Some branches of paganism see the Sun as the father of the universe. The June solstice occurs around the same time of year as Father\u2019s Day so some people saw a link between the two.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of a special day to honor fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced from the United States. A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by the American Mother\u2019s Day celebrations and planned a day to honor fathers early in the 20th century. The first Father\u2019s Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, there are a range of events, which may have inspired the idea of Father\u2019s Day. One of these was the start of the Mother\u2019s Day tradition in the first decade of the 20th century. Another was a memorial service held in 1908 for a large group of men, many of them fathers, who were killed in a mining accident in Monongah, West Virginia in December 1907.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date<\/strong> :<br \/>\nSunday, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>June 17<\/strong><\/span>, 2018<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Perth Brewery World Record Kilt Run<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3915 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/files\/2018\/05\/16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/files\/2018\/05\/16.jpg 1054w, https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/files\/2018\/05\/16-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/files\/2018\/05\/16-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/files\/2018\/05\/16-1024x675.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now in its 9<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0year and with Perth Brewery as the major sponsor, the Perth World\u2019s Kilt Run continues to be a major attraction, drawing thousands of visitors to the town to race or cheer.<\/p>\n<p>Order your kilt when you register and join in this authentic and ever popular kilted 5 mile \/ 8 km race that passes through the historic stone streetscapes of Perth and across the spectacular Tay River.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights include a Pipe Band March to the castle starting gate, street bands, cheering stations and so much more!
