Can you believe we have been together for 20 weeks now?
Did you hear about the fun your children had with sticks on Tuesday? Ask to see what we were up to!
Just a reminder about the upcoming festivals (in just 2 short weeks!)
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). 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 will 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.
Music in the High Country is the music festival hosted by School District 73. The students will be performing at the Sagebrush Theatre on Wednesday March 9. Please have your child there for 9 AM. You are invited to stay for the performance but understand that many of you will need to return to work. It is expected that the session will be done before lunch time - I will do my best to get an expected release time for you ASAP
If you have any questions, or know that your child will be absent please email Jacquie jstrom@sd73.bc.ca and please DO NOT reply to this email. Have a wonderful weekend

Music Notes Week 19
Ms. Alpaugh was so impressed with the choir this week. They have been working so hard and it shows! Way to go!
Upcoming dates - we have two festivals that we will be a part of in March. These festivals allow KTCC members to listen to other choirs and to receive valuable feedback from adjudicators who are specialists in the field. It's amazing how much they will grow over the course of the next few weeks as a choir.

Music Notes Week 18
The time this week just flew. Mrs. Froese couldn't believe where the time went, they just had so much fun and worked incredibly hard!
A reminder that the craft and pizza day that was scheduled for this month (Feb 13) is CANCELLED
On March 3 we have Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts in the evening. I'm just working to confirm the time.
For homework, please have your children continue to work on 'Tis a Gift that they focused on this week during rehearsal.
Enjoy the Family Day long weekend and create some special memories together! See you Tuesday!

It's February!
I've missed a few weeks of posting - but choir continues. Tomorrow we learn if spring will come early (I'm not too hopeful as I see the white stuff fall from the sky) or if winter continues.
Just a quick update to let you now that we have cancelled the extra choir rehearsal on Saturday Feb 13.
Thanks to all who have emailed over the past few weeks to indicate if their child will be absent. It definitely makes things much easier for me! Remember don't reply to these emails, but email me directly at jstrom@sd73.bc.ca Thanks!
See you all tomorrow.

Music Notes Week 15
Did you know that your children have amazing tongue twister skills?
They worked so hard today with Mrs. Froese, she was so hard with their level of focus and their effort put forth today.
Please have your children continue to work on Risseldy Rosseldy - it's quite a tongue twister! Also have them listen to and follow along with Path to the Moon with the youtube videos that Ms. Alpaugh posted on the blog.
If you didn't already mark it on your calendar (or put it in your phone if you are like me) Thursday March 3 in the evening is Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts.
If/When you know your child will be absent from choir, please send Jacquie an email jstrom@sd73.bc.ca

Thanks to Mrs Froese and Sam for leading choir this week.
Ms Alpaugh has posted all of the YouTube videos on the blog. Just visit kamloopsthompsonchildrenschoir.blogspot.com and click on the YouTube tab to view. A reminder that these will NOT play on iPads or iPhones as they need flash player.

Speaking of festival you can add to your calendar that Kamloops Festival of Perforning Arts for choir will be held on the evening of Thursday March 3. The exact meeting time and venue will be confirmed soon.
