Thank You to everyone who tried out for "Song of Peace" on Thursday. It was such a hard decision but I did choose two main solo's with another at the end:
Andrew will be singing the first two lines
Carmen will sing the third and fourth line
Ethan will sing the last line of the song.
Please practice singing these lines before Tuesdays practice! We will have our own extra practices later in the week.
Way to Go!

Oboe Presentation
The Grade Three students were treated to a wonderful presentation about the Oboe and English Horn first thing Tuesday morning. Mrs.Wright, Ethan's Mom in Grade 3 M/S plays for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra so we were very lucky to have her come in. We were able to see the Oboe and English Horn up close and to see what a double reed looks like. This will help us alot with our "Peter and the Wolf" unit we are currently learning about. One thing I learned in the presentation is that the reason why the English Horn is called what it is because the English horn used to be called the "cor angle" since it had a bent shape. Angle, which is a French word, was mistranslated as anglais, or English. Even with the modern instrument being straight, the translation is still used and the instrument is still known to this day as the English horn. Very Interesting! Thank you Mrs.Wright!

Choir!
What an amazing choir rehearsal yesterday. I am so excited for our first performance. Thank you to everyone who came out, I think we have almost 70 choristers now and the sound was unbelievable! I would like to remind everyone to ask their parents about buying choir shirts this weekend. Remember that you do not have to buy one but I ask at performances that you where a long sleeved black shirt/dress. If you did not get a notice to take home with the information on it come and see Mrs.Dueck before the weekend. I have attached a Utube video of "A Song of Peace" that we will be singing at the Remembrance Day Assembly November 10 at 11:00 am. For some reason it starts off with a nice picture and then goes black for the rest of the video and for some added fun they sing the alphabet song at the end????.....all I really wanted was the recording of "Song of Peace" so don't worry about the rest. See you Next Friday for our next rehearsal!
