Children’s Choir – week of April 28th

Hi everyone, I hope you had a good rehearsal with Sarah Burnell yesterday! I missed you all and can’t wait to see you on Sunday!

Homework:

This is what we will be performing on Sunday. Please make sure you are ready to perform!

Les Étoiles

Scat Cat

To Young Canadians

Siyahamba (English, French, Zulu)

One Small Voice

Here are the details for the concert on Sunday:

Please be there at 12:30 for our rehearsal. Then we rehearse with all of the other choristers.

Location: St. Thomas a Becket Church, 4320 Ste-Anne St., Pierrefonds

There will be a break for you from 2:15- 3:30. Please bring a snack, a water bottle and something quiet to do (i.e. a book, some homework, a game to share) while the other choirs have their soundchecks.

The concert starts at 4:00pm. Tickets are $5 for parents, and free for children under 10. We will be done by 5:30 or so.

Please remember your full uniform, include black shocks and shoes!

Parents, I would still love to have 1-2 more volunteers to help with chaperoning (2:15-4:00), and front-of-house (3:00-4:00). Please let me know (choirs.conservatory@mcgill.ca) if you would be willing to help out!
