Barrie Soundwaves marked a significant milestone this past weekend, celebrating 40 years of harmony and friendship with a spectacular Anniversary Show & Gala. The event, which felt like a grand reunion, saw more than 60 current and past members come together, joined by their families, friends, as well as supporters from other choruses to honor this special occasion.

The gala highlighted the incredible legacy of the chorus, with a special tribute to the seven charter members in attendance whose dedication helped shape the chorus from its inception. The event also celebrated all four of the chorus's current and past directors, acknowledging their pivotal roles in leading and inspiring members throughout the years.

A highlight of the evening was the 40th Anniversary Chorus, which performed four beloved songs brought back from the archives, delighting the audience with nostalgic renditions that echoed through the decades of the chorus’s rich history.

The evening not only celebrated Barrie Soundwaves' storied past but also its strong community bonds and commitment to musical excellence. They look forward to many harmonious years to come.
