Music Notes Week 3

It is amazing how fantastic your children are sounding in the short time that they have been together.  They are an incredible team!

Although Christmas seems weeks away, your children have already started to learn Christmas music. As their time together is limited, your child will be given tasks to work on at home to ensure the success of the group.
This week your child is to listen to the Christmas Canon found on the blog  http://kamloopsthompsonchildrenschoir.blogspot.ca.  At the top of the page there are three tabs (Home, Youtube and Notes).  Under Youtube, you will find the current songs your child is learning in choir including Christmas Canon.  Your child should listen to the video and follow along with their music with the goal being that the Christmas Canon is memorized for next week.  Additionally they are asked to know what outfits the choir is wearing.
Please note: you cannot watch the youtube videos on iPads, iPods or iPhones as they do NOT have flash player (required to watch the video).  

A reminder not to reply to this email as they are lost in cyberspace.  If you have any questions, or your child will be absent from choir, please email Jacquie at jstrom@sd73.bc.ca

Thank you for supporting your child in music!

A reminder to have a black binder, pencil, and water bottle for next weeks rehearsal

Thank you parents for attending the meeting yesterday. If you have any questions or now of an absence for your child please email Jacquie at jstrom@sd73.bc.ca. DO NOT reply to these emails. They will be lost in cyberspace!

Thank you to all of those parents who volunteered their time for jobs for the upcoming year. It helps ensure the choir runs smoothly!

A Fantastic First Day

Wow!  What a fantastic group of singers we have this year!  It was great to see some familiar faces on Tuesday and meet lots of new ones too!  Your children did a great job of listening to Ms. Alpaugh, sharing their wonderful voices and learning some new songs.

Thank you to all who took care of their child's registration.  If you have not yet filled in the registration forms - please bring your child's care card number and doctor's information next week to the parent meeting.  Registration fees can be paid at the meeting as well - $75.  Cheques can be made out to KTCC.  If you bring cash, please have exact change.

In an email sent out by Jennica Alpaugh earlier this week, she had included some attachments.  Please discard that information.  If you did not pick up new dates and chair schedule, it will be available in hard copy for you next week at the parent meeting.

The mandatory parent meeting will be held at 4 PM in Room 6.  We will discuss expectations for the year, fundraisers, and we will be looking for some volunteers for a variety of jobs.  Just before 5 PM, your children will demonstrate some of their learning.

If you haven't had a chance, please ensure that your child has a black binder, pencil and water bottle to bring for next rehearsal.  For those children who have their fees paid, we will ensure they receive their music next week if they didn't get it on Tuesday!

If you haven't already, please subscribe to this blog.  If you don't know how to subscribe to the blog, Jacquie will show you next week and will assist with sign up too!


If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jacquie at jstrom@sd73.bc.ca   Please do not reply to these emails as they get lost in cyberspace!

Happy September KTCC students and Parents!!!
I am ready and excited to start another year of singing with your students.
Our manager Mrs. Strom had a baby girl this week so if you have any questions let me know (jalpaugh@sd73.bc.ca).
Our first rehearsal will be next week from 4-5. Please be a few minutes early in order to get ready so we can start at 4 sharp! You will need a black binder and a pencil. Water bottles are fine but no juice or pop please. The parent meeting will be the following Tuesday so please ensure there is a parent available to stay during rehearsal and collect important information and dates for the year.

See you Tuesday!!
