Dear current choir families,

Thank you for your flexibility in this unanticipated end of our Choir season!  While the province looks at loosening Covid restrictions, we are putting a plan in place to resume our district Choirs once we are able.  While we will certainly ensure that we meet health, safety, and social distance guidelines, we are so eager for the time to come when we can sing together again!

To wrap up our 2019/2020 Season we need to collect all uniforms. Please label a bag with your childs name and return your dress/shoes/dress pants/ shirts/ and music to the marked bin inside the main entrance at the Henry Grube Library starting Tuesday June 16th through to the 20th. It is extremely important that the choir receive these uniform pieces back this year. When you drop off your uniform pieces, there will be an envelope with your child’s name on it in the bin. This envelope contains their certificate for the year and their medal. Please do not enter the Henry Grube building if you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms. We are sad that we cannot have our usual year end concert and wrap up and we hope we can sing together again soon.


We are excited to share some news with you! The district choir programs are being connected for the upcoming 2020/2021 school year!  Ms. Alpaugh will be leading our district choir program. Mrs. Froese, Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Bouw and Kerry are all part of the choir team for September! This new program will ensure that all students' love of music and singing is fostered, while also providing opportunities to sing with and learn from each other!
        KTCC and KTHC will be joined into one choral program, while still allowing each age group to have specialized instruction at their developmental level.  KTCC members (grades 3 and 4) will rehearse from 3:30-4:30.  KTHC members (grade 5-8) will rehearse from 4:00-5:00. The groups will rehearse together from 4:00-4:30. We are excited about the opportunity to merge all of the students’ talents to showcase this wonderful district program!
        If your child is excited about this program, and is passionate about sharing their love of choral music and singing with our new, reimagined choir, they are welcome to join us! 
Students in good standing who are currently in grades 3, 4 and 5 with either previous choirs are welcome to continue on as part of the new choir program next year.  There will be no need to re-audition.   Students in grade 6 and 7 this year are welcome to apply for one of the limited Student Leadership Roles.

        The opportunity to reserve your child’s spot in the new choir is open now until June 19.  After June 19 we will begin filling choir spots from the community.

        Musically yours,
        The District Choir Team

*Please note: start up dates for the fall schedule will be communicated as we receive more information from the district regarding Covid-19 protocols.
