At the Grand Hotel we gathered round,
Cheerful chatter amid a grateful
crowd,
The year was full, the months seemed
long,
But now it was time for wine and
song.
The tables filled with stories shared
Of concerts sung and highs declared.
Alexis lavished praise with a well-earned
sigh,
Cards and gifts exchanged around
table nearby.
Susie wrapped wrist bands on members
with cheer,
And we all toasted heartily to
another great year.
The soloists sparkled, Alexis and
Ruth kept time,
The duets and Ukes all sounded
sublime.
Helene made her debut on flute this
night
Annie’s Song so serene, not one note
did take flight.
Now Roly and Sue have taken their
leave
Off to new ventures, we can hardly
believe.
We’ll miss both their voices, Sue’s table
décor bespoke
And the times they shared with all of
us folk.
Throughout ‘25, each rise and fall,
Each week we’ve answered music’s
call…
With our cherished Alexis, so calm
and true,
Guiding us as only she can do.
Alexis to your steadfast heart
Your care, your craft, your vital
part
We offer our gratitude sincere,
You are the soul of Esk Choir, year
after year.
And as we ended this joyful night
Beneath the Grand’s soft glowing
light,
We heard our voices joined as one.
To rise again when the season’s done.
And as the night drew gently to
rest--
We knew we’d shared our very best.
