| Scotty Newlands Sings
the Anthems for the Toronto Maple Leafs - without a uniform
on!
|
|
|
Go Leafs Go! It was a great
game and I felt so honoured to be singing the anthem as "Scotty
Newlands". It was nice to be out there representing myself for the first
time. My thanks to everyone in the Leafs administration who made this
possible. I think this will be the last performance I have before the
New Year. It was great to go out of 2007 with a bang!
Happy holidays to all and I'll see you in 2008!!!

 Well, it's a fastball, but I'm glad to do it. I have just been
contacted by the Leafs personally to sing the anthems for this
Saturday's game between Toronto and Pittsburgh. They want Scotty
Newlands" - NOT Private Newlands. I actually get to wear civi's. I'll
have to figure out my wardrobe. This feels a bit weird - but it's great
all the same. I'm looking forward to doing this - and this time, It's
just me. No pressure!!!
Tune in and see it - or better yet - c'mon down to the ACC!
Hope to see you there!

the Anthem for the Toronto Maple Leafs
|
|

What can I say about Saturday
night's events? Incredibly moving. From the Veteran's reading of
Flander's Fields to the playing of Amazing grace on the bagpipes - it
was an honour to take part in the ceremony. Thank you again to the brave
men and women who risk their lives every day. I am humbled by their
actions. My thanks to my new friend who posted the opening ceremonies on
You Tube. You're thoughtfulness is greatly
appreciated.
Until next time...

Well, it's that time again. I have been asked to sing the
Anthems for the Toronto Maple Leafs game on the 10th of November for
this year's Rememberance Day ceremony. As always, it is an honour to be
asked to perform during this truly important time for the CF. The Maple
Leafs will be facing off against the New York Rangers.
It should be a great match.
Hope to see you at the game!

| Scotty Newlands to Sing
National Anthems at Argos Game
|
|
|
Well, it was a great game for
the Argos and it was good to see the CF support both on the field and in
the stands. Thanks again to those people who gave me such nice comments
after the opening ceremonies. As always, I'm proud to fulfill the task
when called upon.
Thanks again to everyone!

 I have been asked to sing the

Hope to see you there!

| Scotty Newlands to Sing
National Anthems at Steelback Grand Prix
|
|
|
Well, it was an incredible
experience to perform the anthems on the Start/Finish line at the
Steelback GP. There was so much support from the CF and the Steelback
crew - it was great! It's too bad that the weather didn't co-operate for
the races - but mother nature is a force to be reckoned with! The
drivers did their best with what they were given and drove the
incredibly slick track at amazing speeds despite the intollerable
conditions! All in all, it was a great day and I was honoured to be a
part of it.
Thanks to those who came to see me!
Until next time...
----------------------|----------------------|------------------

 Well, it's official, I've been asked to sing the National
Anthem at the Steelback Grand Prix (formerly the Toronto Molson Indy). I
will be taking part in a combined Military Ceremonial Party. Being a
race fan for many years, I am really looking forward to this event!
Here's hoping for a great weather and a fantastic race!
Hope to see you there!

| Scotty Newlands to Sing
National Anthems at Rogers Centre
|
|
|
Hey there! Thanks to everyone
who came to the game. It was really nice to see the same support as last
year for this occasion - both military and civilian! As always, it was a
true honour to perform the anthems in full dress uniform and
I am very thankful to the Blue Jays Association and the Cdn Forces for
allowing me this great opportunity yet again.
Thank you all!

For the 2nd year in a row, I
have been chosen as the Canadian Forces representative to sing the
Canadian and American National Anthems at the Blue Jays game held at the
Rogers Centre on the afternoon of June 2, 2007.
This is in support of the annual Canadian Forces Appreciation Day as a
way to honour our troops past and present who protect the country and
help those people in other nations against oppression and terrorism in
the world.
I will again be part of the opening ceremonies, which include
presentations to deserving military personnel as well as a full flag
party. I am happy to be taking part in this event again. It is my hope
that you can make it out to this game - enjoy a great day of baseball
and support our troops all at the same time!
The Toronto Blue Jays will face off against the Chicago White Sox in
their 2nd of 3 consecutive games.
Hope to see you there!

| "Showboat" - The
Musical
|
|
|
Well, it was a great run with
a fantastic cast! I met a few new people who I was lucky enough to share
this experience with. I had a really fun time playing the comical roles
of the Backwoodsman and of course the obnoxious drunk!
Thanks to everyone who I was able to work with this past season - it was
a great time!
----------------------|----------------------|------------------

 Time for another fantastic show by the Civic Light Opera Company! This time, it's the
Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein classic Showboat. Based on a
1926 novel of the same title, Showboat is usually considered to
be the first true American "musical play". There is generally two
catergories of musicals: those before Showboat and those after
Showboat. It deals with the serious issue of miscegenation as it
portrays the illegal marriage of two of the actors who live as a married
couple upon the Showboat. As the vessel travels the Mississippi, a
gentleman named Gaylord Ravenal comes aboard the boat in search
of lodging for the evening. What he gets, is the chance to perform as a
juvenile male lead. He also ends up meeting the love of his life - the
daughter of the captain of the boat: Magnolia Hawks. This is
without a doubt one of the greatest pieces of musical theatre. I am
playing a number of ensemble characters. It's going to be a great show.
To the right, is a link to the promotional poster for the show. Feel
free to print it out for your own enjoyment and use.
This show runs from May 24th to the 1oth of June. Tickets can be
purchased online for your
convenience. This show is sure to be a great production. I hope you can
make it out!
Hope to see you there!

I have been asked to sing the anthem again for the Toronto
Maple Leafs game against the Vancouver Canucks on the 13th of January. I
will be accompanied by a small instrumental ensemble comprised of the
Cdn Forces Central Band.
This should be a great event and just like the others, I am honoured to

| Scotty Newlands Sings
the Anthem at United Way Charity Luncheon
|
|
|
 Because of the military's involvement with the
United Way of Greater Toronto, certain members have been invited to a
luncheon to be held downtown. I have been asked to do the honour of
singing the national anthem for the event.
The United Way is a great organization - dedicated to helping those in
need. Because of their involvement in the city, many people who would
not have the opportunity to get their life back on track and help to
support themselves are able to do so and live in dignity.
Give generously when the opportunity presents itself!

the Anthem at the International Cycle Show
|
|
|
 As a
continuation of the Canadian Forces community involvement, there is
going to be a display for the Mike McTeague Wounded Warrior Fund at the
International Motorcycle Show in January. I have been asked to sing the
national anthem at the event.
This event draws hundereds of people every year and it will be nice to
have a military presence. It is always an honour to represent the Cdn
Forces at events and this one should be great!
Hope to see you there!
