December 5th Rehearsal

We will be at the Alliance Church for rehearsal this week in preparation for our Christmas Concert on December 10th.

Posters were handed out at our rehearsal as a keepsake for the kids. Please keep in mind that seating is limited so we welcome family to this event but will not be advertising to the public. Our Spring Concert will have plenty of seating to invite neighbors and friends.

If your child was uncomfortable in their uniform at our last concert, please email me at manager.kthc@gmail.com so we can correct this. We want them to be comfortable in their outfit on stage for the concert. 

For some reason the YouTube link works fine until put on the blog. Please copy the link and paste it to the internet search bar (instead of clicking on it). We have been having more success with it this way.

We learned a new song today called "Skater's Waltz". Below is the lyrics for the song and a YouTube video. The Children's Choir will be performing this with the Honour Choir on the 10th. They are not singing the entire song only the following lyrics:

Skater's Waltz

Gently we glide,
Smoothly we slide,
Softly we dance to the skater's waltz.

Moving to the left
Moving to the right
as we dip and sway

Following the beat,
Magic in our feet
As the music plays

Dancers circle a round to the one, two, three, sound
of the beautiful skater's waltz

Here is the YouTube link for the song (again try and copy and paste it into the internet search bar if clicking on it doesn't work).

Remember to bring to this rehearsal:

Binders, pencil and water bottles.

November 28th Rehearsal

Google is having some issues with the Blog app. Please make sure you pay close attention to the title of the posts to ensure you are getting the right information as it has sent out duplicate posts or posts from previous years with our other blog site. 

Rehearsal will be at the Henry Grube Centre on the 28th. We will be learning and practicing a new song with the Honour Choir so it is very important that all of the KTCC members attend this rehearsal. 

This is going to be a wonderful Christmas Season and we are so proud to showcase the talent of the kids in the Children's Choir! Our first event will be this Sunday at the Summit Drive Church. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Rehearsal November 14th - Venue Change

Our next rehearsal will be held at the Kamloops School of the Arts in the Music Room (same room as last time). Please park on Fraser Street and enter the school by taking the stairs going underneath the overpass onto the main level.

With Winter Season upon us, we ask that every venue we attend, children please remove their boots at the entrance way and carry them to the rooms we are in. Please do NOT leave boots in the entrance way of the venues as this creates a tripping hazard. This will help to reduce the amount of work the janitorial staff must do when we attend these venues and ensure that there is less slipping and tripping hazards for everyone.

There was an error on the Events for the Christmas Season Blog post that went out yesterday. Please note that the time for pickup from the Summit Drive Church event on November 26th should be 12:30pm (not 2:30pm). I will have copies of the Blog Post with all the Event details to hand out to the Children at our next rehearsal with this error corrected.

Thank you,

Meghan
