April 29th and May 1st - Year End Concert and Wrap Up Party

Our year is coming to an end but we have two more wonderful events coming up to celebrate all the wonderful and hard work the kids have done this year!

April 29th - Year End Concert  

KTCC will run a dress rehearsal at the Sagebrush Theatre at 1:00pm until 2:30pm.  Please have your child come dressed in his/her formal uniform with black socks/tights, jazz shoes and with hair in a french braid so we are able to take group photos this rehearsal/photo session (arrive at 12:30 if you need your child’s hair to be french braided). We also ask that any kids who have choir medals from previous years, please wear them. Unfortunately parents are unable to sit in the theatre and watch during this rehearsal.

Please have your child back at the Sagebrush theatre at 5:15 for a 6:00 concert (doors open at 5:45pm for audience), finishing at approx. 7:00pm. The Sagebrush has plenty of seating so invite as many family and friends as you can to our evening performance!

May 1st - Wrap Up Party  

To recognize all of our accomplishments as a choir we will be having a celebration day at KSA at 4:00pm in the Common Room (by the drama and dance studio). At this time we will have uniforms and music returned (please please please remember to bring these items!!!). Additionally we will share a small treat together as this will be our final meeting together.  Families are invited to join us in celebrating our achievements along with the Honour Choir.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate in contacting us!

Ms Alpaugh is asking that the kids review this YouTube Video to help them practice. If the link doesn't work, please copy and paste it into your browser.

Our last rehearsal for the year on April 24th will be held at KSA in the Music Room. Please remember binders, pencils and water bottles.

Finally, I wanted to let you all know that my family and I are moving away. Unfortunately it is very quick, as of next week and I will no longer be at choir. That being said, I will still be answering the manager email and organizing the events from a far so please don't hesitate in emailing or calling me should you need anything. It has been so wonderful working with you, thank you for an amazing year! 

Thank you,

Meghan

April 17th and 18th - School Tours

School Tours is next week. If you have not gotten your permission form in (along with the "Are you Returning to Choir" form), please email it to me ASAP at manager.kthc@gmail.com or hand it into Ms Alpaugh at KSA during school. Children will not be permitted on the bus if this form is not signed.

A reminder about School Tours:

April 17th and 18th - School Tours

Students will perform at four different schools within the school district to share their love of singing and spread the word about choir. April 17th: David Thomson and Lloyd George and April 18th: Dallas and RLC Elementary. Drop off at HGEC at 8:10am and pick up is 11:45am at HGEC. Please bring a good snack and a water bottle. The children will need to wear black pants, teal KTCC shirt, black socks/tights, bring your jazz shoes, hair in a bun, no makeup or jewelry. A letter has been sent to their Principals so they will not be marked as absent while on tour.

There will be No Rehearsal next week on April 17th since we have school tours that day.

If you have any questions, please email me at manager.kthc@gmail.com

Thanks, 

Meghan  

April 10th - Forms and Volunteers Needed

Hello,

Paperwork was given to the kids today. A field trip form for School Tours and a form asking if Choir Members are returning to KTCC/KTHC next year. Please ensure that you return the form at our next rehearsal on April 10th (they are on one form - double sided). There was also a newsletter handed out that will update you with the remaining details for our events.

We are still needing a first aid attendant for School Tours on Wednesday April 18th from 8:00am to 12:00pm (approx.). Please let me know if you are available via email at manager.kthc@gmail.com

We are also in need of parents who know how to French Braid hair to help with the Year End Concert. You will be asked to show up and help with hair at 12:30 - 1:00 and then again for a quick fix up at 5:15pm. You will not miss out on the concert! Promise!

Next rehearsal on April 10th will be at the KSA, please remember your forms! 

Thank you,

Meghan

Call for Volunteers

Hello,

I am in need of some Volunteers for the remaining events for the Choir. 

1. April 17th and 18th - School Tours - Photographer, First Aid
I need 1 parent who can take photos of the kids during their performances (nothing fancy) and 1 parent who has their valid first aid certificate.

2. April 29th - Year End Performance - Hair/Uniform
I need 3 or 4 parents who can help backstage with French braiding hair and inspecting uniforms. You will of course be done before the performance starts so will not miss anything!

3. May 1st - Wrap Up Party - set up and clean up
I need 2 parents who can help with preparing food and cleaning up the venue afterwards. You will not miss out on any of the fun events.

If you are able to help us out, please email me at manager.kthc@gmail.com

We depend heavily on our parents to help these events go smoothly so please assist us in any way you can!

Thank you,

Meghan

April 3rd - Congratulations!

As you have most likely heard from your kids, we are so excited to announce the Children's Choir has been asked to go onto Provincials by the Kamloops Festival of Performing Arts! A recording of our performance will be sent on our behalf (we will not be attending in person). Congratulations to our hard working kids!

Rehearsal next Tuesday, April 3rd will be at KSA as will all our rehearsals from now on, for the rest of the year.

Thanks,
