September 18th 2018

Another successful day of choir done!

Reminder KTCC Venue Change!!
Tuesday September 25th KTCC will take place at Kamloops School of the Arts (1390 9th Ave) in the Elementary music room to accommodate our recording session! It will be at our normal time of 3:45pm, just the new location!

Also the choir fee of $100 is due by Oct 15th so if you haven't given your fees you're running out of time!

If your child doesn't have one already they need a black binder to keep their music safe.

Finally a little bit in advance but we will be performing at the farmers market on October 6th 10:30am, so mark your calendars!

See you next week at KSA!

Meeting Recap

Thank you to everyone who made the meeting yesterday a priority.  Here is a brief recap and overview of upcoming activities.

• Drop off is 3:45 each week and pick up is promptly at 5.  Please arrive a few minutes early so you can initial by your child's name for sign out.  We will take the sign out sheet to call students for dismissal at 5, so if you have not signed it by then you will have to wait for the first round of students to be dismissed.  
• We must enter from the side door at Henry Grube, rather than the front and remember we are being generously gifted this space, but it is primarily our district office space so we must be conscious of being quiet and respectful in the halls.
• A parent/child contract must be signed and handed in when registration fees are paid.  If you have not done so, please let Paige know and she will give you one to sign on Tuesday.  If you have not yet paid your registration fees please do so on Tuesday.  We will not be collecting fees at Saturdays concert.
• You child will need a black binder to keep their music safe as they are only borrowing the music.  Please ensure they have one for Tuesday.
• Choir's are a team and attendance is mandatory, as the children depend on each other.  Sometimes we learn an entire song in one rehearsal! The exception, of course, is illness. If your child is going to be absent, please email Paige as we must do attendance each week.  If attendance becomes an issue, your child will be dismissed from the choir as we have an extensive wait list.  If you have one pre-planned holiday, we understand,  please check with Mrs. Bouw or Mrs. Alpaugh so we can make sure your child isn't given a special role for performances. 
• Uniforms will be issued our first craft day on Saturday, November 3rd.  We will be at KSA that morning from 9-12, and it will include games and a pizza party.  Jazz shoes are not to be worn outside, and you  must return your uniform in the condition you were given it.  Thank you to our wonderful team who is in charge of issuing uniforms- we couldn't do it without you!
• We are having a t-shirt design contest for our yearly team shirts.  This shirt and black pants or leggings is our alternate uniform for events (girls hair is in a bun for these events). Please have your child design an image if they would like to participate.  Entries need to be in ASAP as we will be wearing our design at the October 6th Farmer's Market Busking event. 
• Please do not reply to the blog.  It will be lost in cyber space.  Please email Paige, our manager, at
  ktchildrenschoir@gmail.com
  for all necessary communication.
• We look forward to seeing you this Saturday, at Riverside Park for Kamloops Children's Festival (provided your child was present for rehersal on Tuesday, otherwise they can watch). We will meet by the waterpark tree at 9:40, dressed as superheroes or wearing red, blue and/or gold.  See you then!  
• Occasionally we will need an alternate rehearsal space.  When this occurs you will receive an email and there will also  be a Facebook post if you use social media.  This may be last minute as the Henry Grube may suddenly need the space.  We will be at KSA on 9th Ave in the music room when this happens.  Please subscribe to the blog for updates on this.
