Winnipeg Music Festival

Good Luck to the Grade 3-5 Choir as they get ready to perform at the Winnipeg Music Festival on Monday, March 4. We will have a rehearsal first thing Monday morning in the band room and then get right on the bus and head to Westminister Church for the performance. We are slated to go on last in our class at approximately 11:30. If another choir is unable to attend we will be bumped up so please come early if you plan to watch so you will for sure see us perform! It will be great to hear from the adjudicator what she thought of all the hard work we have put in. We will have a celebrations part on Friday March 8th so we have a fun week in store! Email Mrs. Dueck with any questions and I will get back to you asap!

Oboe Presentation

We are so lucky to have a parent in our school who plays for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and Manitoba Chamber Orchestra. Mrs. Wright plays the Oboe and English Horn and treated us to a presentation so that we can get to know these instruments a bit better before we head off to the concert hall on Monday morning. We learned that the Oboe and English Horn use a double reed and Mrs. Wright has to make these reeds herself using tools and a piece of reed which sort of looks like bambo. She also played a few selections for us which were so beautiful to listen to. We would like to to thank her very much for coming in to do this. We will be watching for her on Monday!
