Music Notes week 4

Another great week in choir!  Thank you for your support in having your children participate in choir.   It's hard to believe that the first concert is only a month away.  To help your child continue to improve between choir practises, a few minutes spent each day practising a piece of music would be beneficial.  Ms. Alpaugh has issued a sticker challenger to each choir member - to earn the sticker for next week your child needs to memorize the Christmas Fir.  

Thank you to those who helped with chairs today!  We appreciate it!

There are still a few outstanding fees for choir.  If you could please make arrangements with Jacquie to pay this as soon as possible so we are able to hand out uniforms in two short weeks!

As colds and flu start going around, we recognize that your child is not always able to be at choir.  If your child is going to miss choir, please send Jacquie an email at jstrom@sd73.bc.ca  to give us a heads up.  Thank you!

Fundraisers - we have a few projects on the go right now.  We are looking for some more support on each of our fundraisers.  Silent auction items are still needed to ensure we have a successful event.  Please head to a couple of local businesses to see what they might be willing to donate.  If you need a copy of the letter, please email Jacquie jstrom@sd73.bc.ca and she can send it to you.

Blazer vouchers are available each week from Jacquie in the lobby area.  The vouchers sell for $12 and are good for any home game that is not a playoff.  These make fabulous gifts for Christmas as they are flexible on the dates you attend.  Generally the seats are located on the corners of the rink - so you still get the full hockey experience!

Finally, next week your children will be given information for selling poinsettias and wreaths in time for the holiday season.  Please watch for it in your child's choir binder!

Happy Monday!
Just a reminder to bring your Silent Auction items to choir on Tuesday. If you are wondering what to bring, an item for a movie or games night basket would be appreciated.
See you tomorrow!

Music Notes Week 3

Happy Tuesday!
Thank you for sharing your children with me this week. They truly are wonderful to work with. I am teaching them a lot of music very quickly. If you have time in your week, quickly reviewing words or melodies will be very beneficial. Just a reminder that our Craft/Uniform/Pizza/Rehearsal morning is quickly approaching (November 15). This morning rehearsal will be very important to ensure we are ready for our concerts at the end of november.  We will also be handing out uniforms on this day.
Jacquie will continue to collect silent auction items this month and will also be selling Blazers tickets.

A big thank you to my amazing chair crew today!!
Have a wonderful week, see you next Tuesday!

Blazer Ticket Vouchers

With the holidays rapidly approaching and the search is on for that perfect gift - we have decided to sell Blazer Voucher tickets.  The vouchers are good for any regular season home game for the Blazers and are available for purchase from Jacquie for $12 beginning on Tuesday.  Money raised will stay with the Kamloops Thompson Children's Choir to help with purchasing new uniforms.  Thanks for your support!

Music Notes Week 2

It's only the second week and it's amazing how much your children have improved.  Clearly, they have been working hard and they have been busy practising at home.  Your children are amazing!

Thanks to those families who helped out with putting the chairs and tables back together.  Your help is greatly appreciated!

Also a big thank you to those families who have already started collecting donations for our silent auction in November.  Jacquie can collect these donations from you on Tuesday.  Just remember she usually arrives closer to 4 (as she commutes from Chase), but is there after choir too!

We've received back most of the registration packages.  Thank you for those who have that complete!  If you haven't had a chance to take care of that, please drop that off as soon as possible.

Thanks for your ongoing support in music!

Wow! What a fabulous first day!

Thanks to all of the parents, grandparents and other adults who came to the parent meeting today.  We appreciate your efforts in bringing your child to choir, and allowing them to enjoy singing with other students who love to sing!  Your efforts and the efforts of your child are greatly appreciated.

Thank you to those families who helped to reset the rehearsal room today after choir.

If you still have your registration form, please return it next week to Jacquie.  Otherwise if you were missing any information ( Care Card number) please bring that information next week, and we will get your registration completed.

Please remember to bring a water bottle and binder with a pencil to choir next week.

We are excited to have your child singing with us this year!

If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to volunteer with a project feel free to let Jacquie know at jstrom@sd73.bc.ca
