Another Wonderful Rehearsal!

On Wednesday, November 7th our Junior Choir met for their second practice. I am so impressed with how quickly the students are learning and responding to our warm-up exercises and simple songs. Please ask him/her about the song "Sit up Straighter"; I'm sure they can sing it for you.

Even though it's still Fall, we got in the mood for Carol-fest and learned a few songs about Christmas: Celebrations Around the World and Come, Holy Savior, Come. Thanks to choir parents for helping to write out choir words on chart paper.

Please keep "tuning in" to our Junior Choir Blog!

Note: If possible, please avoid giving your child money to buy concession items on Day 6 so that they can arrive on time. Also, please continue to remind your child of their Day 6 commitment to choir. If they miss a rehearsal, it is much harder to get caught up as actions are taught and new lyrics are learned weekly. Last, if you know your child is going to be away or is ill, please email me at: maryellen.martin@cssd.ab.ca
