Holiday Movie Music Night

Our Holiday Concert is a week away!! With Friday being a day off and Monday being set up day, we are very close. Here is some important information about the holiday concert that you will need to know.

Date: Tuesday, December 14, 2010
Time: Afternoon Concert 1:30 p.m.
Evening Concert 7:00 p.m.

Please Note: Children should arrive at their classrooms at 6:30 p.m. Doors will be open at 6:00.

We encourage those parents/relatives that are able to attend the afternoon performance to do so as the evening concert does fill us quickly!

This year the theme of our concert is “Holiday Movie Music Night.” You will be treated to some great music from our favourite holiday movies.

Admission to the concert as always is a box of breakfast cereal or mittens for our “Giving Tree.”

Once again, Linden Meadows School will be collecting breakfast cereal and mittens/scarves/toques for our Giving Tree. The items donated will be given to Westgrove School for their breakfast program and students there. The “Giving Tree” will be up Monday December 1 until the night of the concert. Thank You.


Happy Holidays to all!

Holiday Movie Music!!!

Well by now you should all know that the theme of this year's Holiday concert is "Holiday Movie Music". We are going to have so much fun putting on this concert with all of our favourite music from the tv shows and movie's we love! Starting this week we will be preparing the music and soon we will talk to you about needing speakers as well. If this is something you are interested in please talk to your teacher about it. More information about the concert on Tuesday December 14th will be coming. Stay Tuned!!

Remembrance Day Assembly

I would like to thank all the Grade 3-5 Choir members for their fabulous behaviour and singing at the Remembrance Day Assembly. Your singing was breathtaking! I received so many compliments are your songs and even though there was no clapping at the assembly because of the solemn occasion everyone thought you did a great job!!

Solo's!

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!
