Thanks to all who helped organize the fresh is best orders. If you are missing anything please let Jacquie know ASAP via email jstrom@sd73.bc.ca
Next week we have a venue change to Kamloops alliance church prior to our concert on Friday dec 9. A few notes about the concert, due to a smaller venue (unfortunately it was the only space available) we expect things will be tight in the sanctuary. In the spring we will be back to our regular and larger venue of the sagebrush theatre. Additionally there are other activities happening at the church that night so we encourage as much carpooling as possible. Finally admission is by donation.
Enjoy your week!

A job well done!
Way to go! I'm sure you are very proud of your children for how well they performed on Saturday at the Bells of Note concert. They did such a wonderful job. We heard from so many members of the public as to how well they did!
A reminder that Fresh is Best orders will be available to pick up at the Henry Grube Centre tomorrow after choir. We will be getting all of the orders organized during our regular choir rehearsal. If you have volunteered to assist with this (a special events person) we will meet at approx 3:45 in Room 3.
Thank you!

Bells of Note Concert
Today (Saturday) we have our concert with the Bells of Note at Kamloops United Church (421 St Paul St). We ask that the children arrive promptly at 1 PM so that we are able to have some rehearsal time with the Bells of Note prior to our performance. The concert begins at 2 PM and in past years it has been over closer to 4 PM (this is dependent of course on the number of groups performing).
If girls can please come with their dresses and black tights on and hair french braided. Boys have their white shirts and black pants. Children will carry their black jazz shoes into the building and can change them there. Parents if you can please collect all coats and outside shoes so that we have less to worry about. If you need help with braiding hair, please arrive prior to 1 PM with damp hair.
When you enter the building from St. Paul St you will go up a few stairs and then follow the hallway to the back room where we will meet around the piano.

Reminders for the upcoming week!
Thanks to everyone for making it to the Saturday rehearsal. Your children worked so hard!
On Saturday - we handed out yellow KTCC shirts. These shirts are for the kids to keep. They are free to wear them to school and out and about. We know that so many of them love to be in choir and we are happy for them to share their love! We will have times that we ask the kids to wear them to specific events, so please keep tabs on them!
We also handed out uniforms. We did our best to make things fit as best as possible working with the inventory available. The boys were given black pants, white shirts and black jazz shoes. The girls were given dresses, a piece of ribbon and black jazz shoes. There are a few children who did not receive a part of their uniform - we have things on order and will do our best to make things work for our concert on Saturday (I'm hoping everything has arrived by then!) For the girls - the only part of the uniform not included is tights. We ask that you purchase your own black tights with feet. Additionally, for concerts we ask that the girls hair be put into one French braid. If you need assistance with braiding, please arrive before the requested time for a concert so that we have the time to assist you with this.
A big thank you to all of the parent volunteers on Saturday who helped with uniforms, snack & lunch, as well as the other activities that happened in the morning. You made my job so much easier! Thanks again!
On Tuesday - our Fresh is Best orders are due. Please total each column of sale at the bottom of the page (It just makes my job much easier) and send in all forms and money in a bag/envelope on Tuesday. I will be placing the mass order on Tuesday evening, so must have everything received. Thanks for your help with this.
Also we have a venue change on Tuesday - we will be at Kamloops Alliance Church. That is located across the street from our usual location of the Henry Grube Centre. The choir will be rehearsing in the Fireside Room (same location as last time).
Finally on Saturday (Nov 26), we have our first showcasing at Kamloops United Church (421 St. Paul St) with the Bells of Note. Please ensure your child is there promptly at 1:00 as the children will need to rehearse with the Bells immediately prior to the concert commencing at 2 PM.
