After a brief hiatus for the fall, we are back and ready to sing our SADs out!

Things get extra heavy when the days turn darker and colder, but you know what makes things lighter? Dramatically scream-singing your favourite karaoke songs with your friends!

Choral Hygiene is a super fun, interactive event and community to come together for the love of singing! All levels welcome but please come ready to sing. With the freedom to either blend in with the group or stand out with some killer harmonies, backups or adlibs, the important thing is that you SING. Without fear and without judgment cuz that's what we're here for!

Luckily for you, you'll be guided along this musical adventure by your fearless host Zane Banyan, bringing over a decade's worth of professional karaoke and choir experience combined

All you have to do is come with your favourite karaoke classic in mind (think songs that EVERYONE KNOWS) that you would love to belt with all of your new singing friends and Zane will take care of the rest...

We are so excited to be planting this growing event and community at a new location: the historic Glad Day Bookshop! Your entry fee (PWYC/NOTAFLOF*) goes towards saving this incredibly important institution and all of the work they do in support of not just the q***r community, but the arts in general

About Glad Day:
Established in 1970, Glad Day is the worldโ€™s oldest 2SLGBTQ bookstore. It has been at the heart of Canadian struggles for sexual liberation, free speech and creativity

Glad Day funds, supports and organizes many activities, events and services including, but not limited to: performances; literary events; community meetings; workshops; etc. It is a cultural hub for the community and a much needed safer space than most!

COME SING WITH US!
MON DEC 9TH
8-10PM
PWYC/NOTAFLOF* with a suggested $5-$15 donation to Glad Day! If you can't make it to the event but would still like to support, please consider donating here: https://www.gladdaylit.ca/savegladday

The cafรฉ/bar will be open so bring your ID and tip your bartenders!

For the first time, Choral Hygiene is so excited to be presented at a venue with an entrance and a bathroom without stairs

The special 90s Rock edition of Choral Hygiene was sooo much fun and filled my heart all the wayyy ๐Ÿ†™

This community is growing but I noticed the playlist was a bit shorter this month because there were so many awesome stories to be shared in the room and connections amongst music lovers being made โœจ

In an effort to spice things up this time around, I tried to screen the music video for the songs chosen with the CC on for lyrics instead of just karafun but not all of them cooperated. However it definitely gave us the quote of the night: HOOTIE IS BLACK?! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thank you to friends old and new ( for the 2nd pic) for joining me for this super special night filled with some of the best music ๐Ÿ’•

You DO NOT want to miss the next one! Official announcement coming soon so stay tuned ๐ŸŽ‰

THANK YOU to everyone who made our launch a success! As promised, here's the set list from our first event! There were some karaoke classics pre-loaded onto the Wheel of Hygiene and then guests were asked to submit their karaoke go-to as they came in and those were added to the mix as well...

Hide & Seek (CHโ€™s inspo song, this was Zane's request to kick things off before we started spinning the wheel)

Here's what the wheel brought us:
Manโ€ฆ I Feel Like a Woman
Dancing in the Dark
I Will Survive
Midnight Train to Georgia
Teenage Dirtbag
Faith
Seven Nation Army
Unbreak My Heart
Semi-Charmed Life
Folsom Prison Blues
Whatโ€™s Up
A Long December
Sweet Child Oโ€™ Mine

All awesome songs that everyone enjoyed singing together!
Save the dates for our next gatherings, events with ticket links coming soon: Wed June 12th and Wed June 26th! Tell all your friends and come sing with us! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰
