Music Notes Week 24

Thanks for the extra accommodation on Tuesday to allow us to celebrate our successes at the two festivals we participated in.  We will take a break from choir over Spring Break and start again for our final session together on April 5.

Enjoy the warmer sunny days!

Music Notes Week 23

Thank you for all you do to ensure your child's success in choir!  I greatly appreciate each of you for ensuring your child was able to make our rehearsal on Tuesday - despite all of the venue changes.  They did a fantastic job at the recording.  This recording will be sent in to Performing Arts BC to compete against other groups in their age category.

If you had a chance to stay and listen to your children today at the High Country Festival at the Sagebrush Theatre, you saw how wonderfully they performed.  Thank you for taking the time out of your day to be there!

Next week we are going to celebrate all of our successes this far in the year with pizza for the students.  Therefore we should be finishing up next week between 5:15-5:30 back at our regular rehearsal space.

There will be a break from choir during Spring Break, but we will begin again on Tuesday April 5 for one more month of singing!  Please start to think about and talk with your child if they will want to continue in choir next year.  We will send home a survey after Spring Break to confirm this.  If your child is currently in grade three, they will remain in KTCC with Ms. Alpaugh.  If your child is currently in grade four, they would move up to the Honour Choir with Ms. MacPherson.

Enjoy your week ~ we will see you on Tuesday!

URGENT - VENUE CHANGE

Our location for rehearsal for Tuesday March 8 has MOVED!  There is a conflict with the venue.

So we will be at St. Paul's Anglican Church at 4th and Nicola St (the white church).  Huge apologies for the confusion and late notice.

This is only an audio recording, so no uniform is needed.

Please share this with all KTCC parents!  Thank you

What a wonderful phone call!

I was just off the phone with a member of the Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts, the adjudicator was so impressed with how wonderful KTCC sounded.  As a result, he has nominated our choir to compete at the provincial festival.

Before you start packing your bags, we will only be sending our voices via a recording.  Therefore, our rehearsal on Tuesday MARCH 8 will be held at St Andrews Church on 6th Avenue.  Please try to arrive by 3:45 PM.  We should be finished around the same time (5:00).  Apologies on the short notice, but it is what we could make work.  As per usual this remains a closed rehearsal so everyone is able to remain focused.

If you have any questions, please email Jacquie jstrom@sd73.bc.ca

Congratulations to members of KTCC!

Wow!

What a fantastic evening!  Your children truly are wonderful to work with each week and you can see just how hard they have been working since our return in the new year.

Thank you for all you do to ensure your child's success from getting them to practise weekly to braiding hair to having them do their homework each week.  We appreciate you in this musical journey!

Please give your children an extra hug from us.  We will see everyone on Tuesday with the High Country Festival put on by the school district on Wednesday morning.

Enjoy your weekend!

Music Notes Week 21

On Thursday evening, you will have the chance to get a sneak peek at what  your children have been working so hard on.  A reminder that festival is happening.  Please have your child at Calvary Community Church by 5:30 in full uniform.  They will need to carry in their jazz shoes BUT please take their outside shoes and coats with you.  This makes all of the transitions much easier.

In case you need any of the details for tomorrow night:

Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts will be on Thursday March 3.  Please have your child at the Calvary Community Church on Rogers Way in Aberdeen by 5:30 PM in complete uniform (KTCC shirt, skorts and black tights(girls) black pants (boys), and jazz shoes{Don’t forget to carry these into the building!}).  Please remember no jewelry (this includes earrings, necklaces and bracelets!) and hair needs to be french braided.  If you need help with the braiding, please have damp hair and arrive earlier than 5:30!

A few notes about the Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts - doors do not open before 6:15.  Admission is $2 per person and if you would like a program (which includes every event throughout the festival they are $10).   Photography and Video recording are not permitted during the festival due to copyright laws and the ushers will be enforcing this.  The adjudicator will be taking extensive notes and therefore absolute silence is asked during the performance and following each piece.  We will discuss at rehearsal what a formal performance looks like and what the choir will need to do.
