Hello Choir Parents!
What a fun concert tonight- your children looked and sounded awesome! Thank you for your dedication this concert season! Our final event of the year will be Saturday at the Kamloops Wildlife Park. There is little warm up space so we will meet at a new time of 5:45. Our set will only be 15-20 minutes so please remain with your child. This is not a drop off/ pick up event. Don't forget to dress as warm as possible- no choir uniforms necessary. This event is meant to be a fun family/choir celebration, if you cannot make it we will see you in January as there will be no choir next Tuesday (December 19). 

Have a wonderful Christmas Season!! Thank you for sharing your children with us!

Ms. Alpaugh

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.

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. 

Thanks,

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.
