This was our first outdoor flash mob choir. A second one was held on 21 June 2019, on International Make Music Day, when the choir filled the walkway to Wynyard Train Station to sing Locomotion.

In November 2018, the choir came together just a few days following the passing of inspirational conductor and music educator Richard Gill AO, to sing in a special tribute under the direction of Michelle Leonard, Sam Allchurch and Brett Weymark.

In February 2019, the choir was led by community choir leaders Christina Mimmocchi with Grace Yang in learning The Moon Represents My Heart, a traditional Chinese song which the choir learnt to sing in Mandarin Chinese in celebration of Lunar New Year.

This year our choral leaders included Adam Majsay, Brett Weymark, Christina Mimmocchi with Grace Yang, Robert Teicher, Stephen Taberner, Anthony Pasquill, Sam Allchurch, Michelle Leonard, Guy Noble, Georgia Mooney and Elana Stone from All Our Exes Live in Texas.
