Attention Grade 3-5 Choir!

Winnipeg Music Festival is on Monday!!! Don't forget your shirts!!!

The Planets

This term, the grade 3 students have been listening to a composition by Gustav Holst called "the Planets." He has composed a piece of orchestral music for each of the 7 planets. This past week, both grade 3 classes made some artwork to decorate our classroom as we learn songs about Space and talk about the music we have been listening to. It was hard to fit everyone's artwork in the picture but you can see that everyone worked very hard on their creations.

Grade 2's Field Trip

The Grade 2's had a wonderful time at the symphony yesterday. Mr. Mark and Manny the Tuba were the hosts of the show and they were funny and entertaining. some of the highlights were the Russian Dancers, the acrobat, spanish flamenco dancers, aboriginal hoop dancer and singer,and singers who sang "A Whole New World" from Alladin at the end. Everyone had a fantastic time and we represented our school well. Thank you to the parent volunteers who helped us out!

WSO Choir

As the Grade 2's and Grade 5's are preparing for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra Concert by listening to the music, the 13 member WSO Choir is learning to sing the music. On March 22 at 1:00 Pm they will join a 200 voice choir from Pembina Trails to sing with the WSO. What an opportunity!!! It will be an amazing experience. Parents who are interested in coming to the performance are welcome to, information has gone home.

Happy New Year!

Welcome Back everyone! I hope you had a great holiday with your friends and families. We are off to a great start here in the music room! The choir is excited about preparing for the Winnipeg Music Festival. The choir was told today that this is the first year of many that there will be no Pembina Trails Sings. This was a festival within our own school division prior to the city wide festival. The reason is, is that our division is going to be taking a 200 voice choir to sing with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra on March 22 at 1:00. I will be putting together a choir just for this event. The thing is I am only allowed to bring 18 students and they must be in Grade 5 or 6. There is a sign up sheet on my door for those students who are interested. If there are more than 18 students signed up then I will do auditions. This will take place on Tuesday January 11th. I am looking forward to working with some of the 6's that I have missed so much this year!

Congratulations!

I would like to congratulate all the K-5 students on there amazing performances at the Holiday Concert. All the practicing in class and at home has paid off. Our concert was a big success. I wish you all a fun filled holiday with your families. You are deserve the break! See you in January! Check out this site from the North Pole! Lots of Fun. http://www.northpole.com/
