In March the Shine Choir was privileged enough to be invited to sing in the Flinders
Ranges. All Shiners arrived on time at 3pm on Saturday the 16th of March at the Melrose
Institute in 36 degree heat. The members of the Shine choir were all hands on deck to set
up the sound equiptment. We became team Shine!!!

One of the key things that made this trip amazing was meeting the people. Shine choir
was met with good old fashioned country hospitality in every way. We were met with the
most amazing smiling faces who did more than any of us could have imagined. AND the
food, well I don’t know where to start, there was just so much of it. If any people who
contributed to this weekend read this let me say again THANK YOU!!!

Saturday night was the concert which saw around 90 people attend. Shine sung for
around 1 hour and a half and had a fantastic time bringing live music to the country and
sold our CD’s to the locals. After the concert we drove for about fifteen minutes and
we came to our accomodation. We were allowed to stay in the local church which was
fantastic. It was a special time of getting to know each other more. We were also blessed
to have air conditioning on an extreemly hot night.

Sunday morning we were all up bright and early, showered and ready to do it all again.
This time we lead the combined churches harvest service. Again we were blown away
with the hospitality at lunch time.

A very special person was Sheryl. She was our accompanist for this trip and was a
blessing in so many ways. Her life is a story of faith and she shared some amazing
stories. We only found her two rehearsals before the trip and she felt led to accompany us
and learn 27 songs for the two days in less than two weeks. She was a gift to us. We wish
her well and hope that we can play with her again.
