Grade 5's at the Symphony

On Wednesday March 24, the Grade 5 students will be heading to the Centennial Concert Hall to see the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. We have been preparing for this concert by learning about the music, instruments and composers that will be featured. Just a reminder to Grade 5 students to get your permission slips and money in ASAP! Also I have asked that you dress appropriately for this concert so we can have the real experience of a Symphony concert!

Oz

Congratulations to all students who participated in "Oz"! There are just no words to express how amazing you ALL were. Everyone put on a performance of a lifetime!! I know we will not soon forget these days preparing and performing this musical. You should all feel very proud of the work you have done.

Winnipeg Music Festival

Just looking at the countdown I am getting excited for the music festival coming this Friday March 12th. We will have a practice first thing Friday morning at 9:00 and then head to Westminister United Church. We will listen to other choirs and get some ideas for new repertoire and then at around 11:00 we will perform our new "Wishes" and "Obwisana". Please remember to bring nice shoes, your choir shirts and a lunch to stay at school when we get back. I look forward to a great Choir Party next Tuesday. We have lots to celebrate! Break a leg everyone.

Grade 2 WSO Field Trip

The Grade 2's had a wonderful time at the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra concert. Everyone was so well behaved and looked so nice. We were a little dissapointed they didn't play alot of our favourite piece of music "Symphony Number 5" by Beethoven but the concert was very entertaining and the one hour flew by. What a great selection of music for us to be able to listen to! It was so neat to see all the instruments we learned about as well. Bravo Grade 2's!!

Pembina Trails Sings

Wow!... is all I have to say about the Grade 3-5 performance at Pembina Trails Sings last week. I thought the choir gave their best performance and the adjudicator gave us some fantastic tips to take back to our rehearsal to get ready for the Winnipeg Music Festival on Friday March 12. We are doing a great job of learning our new "wishes" song and I know it will be ready to go next Friday. Please remember to bring in your permission forms. Thanks to all who came to listen to us perform. We really appreciate it!
