Festival season has
arrived! It seems like just yesterday that the choir was performing for the Winter
Concert. I’m so very proud of all students for their dedication and hard work
for the concert. It was a great success and every student had lots to
contribute!
The choir has already
started learning some new pieces that they will be performing at some upcoming
concerts.
We will be singing in two
festivals. Our first festival will be the St. James-Assiniboia CHORAL MUSIC
CELEBRATION. This festival will not be marked and is non-competitive in nature.
This festival will be quite beneficial in preparation for our second festival,
which is the WINNIPEG MUSIC FESTIVAL.
The dates and locations
for these are:
· CHORAL MUSIC
CELEBRATION: The date for this concert is TUESDAY,
FEBRUARY 10th. It will take place at Sturgeon Creek United Church, which is located at 207 Thompson
Drive. Students must be at the church no later than 6:20 p.m. Our performance time is 6:50 and we will be finished
by 7:15 p.m. Please keep this evening free, as it is essential for ALL
students to attend. Students will wear their choir uniforms for this concert.
Please contact me if you need clarification or help with rides.
· WINNIPEG MUSIC
FESTIVAL: This festival is on March 9th
at 11:00 a.m. The students will be bussed to Westminister United Church for
this performance. Any parents that would like to watch this performance are
more than welcome to attend. We will probably arrive at the church around 10:30
a.m., with stage time at approximately 11:00 a.m. General admission cost is $4.00,
with free admission for children 12 and under. The venue does not have interact
or credit card machines, and will accept only cash for admittance. Students are
asked to wear their choir uniforms for this performance.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me at jdunk@sjsd.net or call Crestview School at 885-7710. Thank you for your continued support of the music program at Crestview!
Yours truly,
Jordanna Dunk
