Updates

I am back from the Saskatchewan Music Conference in Regina (thankfully I didn't get storm-stayed like some of my colleagues!), and it was just wonderful! I bought $600 worth of band music for $20, which was the deal of the century, to say the least! Gotta love Long & McQuade blowout sales. Get ready for some sight reading, bands! We've got lots of new material!

Just a reminder for everyone that there has been a change in Parent-Teacher Interview times for tomorrow. Instead of 4-7pm, we will be running interviews from 3:30-6:30. Don't forget to tell your parents!

October practice charts were due on Friday. Congratulations to Band 20, who was the first class to have a 100% record of handing in their charts. Next step: Make sure that all charts have a minimum of 240 minutes per month (60 minutes per week). Music 9(4) and 7(1) came very close as well - good work girls!

For those of you wondering about the cast list for The Sound of Music, here's the scoop: Jan Cash, our director, needs to have the final say in the casting. Sr. Mary and I have it mostly figured out now, after several callback auditions. Jan will need to put the final "seal of approval" on our list, and we will get started on rehearsals immediately after. Stay tuned for a schedule.

I hope everyone had a good weekend, and please drive safely out there.... it's beginning to look a lot like (slippery, snowy, icy) Christmas!

In Flanders Fields

I'd like to meet with the chamber choir (Naomi, Brenna, Michelle, Maddi, Amanda, Jordan, Chandra, Rebecca, Quinn) for "In Flanders Fields" today at 12pm. Take some time and eat your lunch, then head up to the music room so we can take a look. We will be singing it a cappella at the Remembrance Day service at school on November 8th.
