Last-minute choir reminders

Hi senior choir!  This is short notice, but I'm just reminding you that our bus will be leaving from the Bishop Pascal doors at 5pm today.  Please wear your FULL uniform (cardigan included).  I am not sure what facilities will be available to us when we get there for changing into uniforms, so I suggest coming fully dressed to catch our bus.  I will bring the folders and music.

See you just before 5!

Sc 7P spelling quiz

Hi 7P!  Don't forget that your spelling quiz in science is tomorrow.  I know you can't wait to dazzle me with your spelling and grammar know-how! :o)

HW Check - Sc 7 Grammar/Spelling/Content Review

Hi Science 7C and 7P! The Grammar/Spelling/Content review activity questions (#1-19) are due for next class. Many of you had the opportunity to finish in class, but if you were absent or did not finish during class time, please take the time to complete the activity as homework. Remember to circle, underline, cross out, etc. any errors and replace them with the necessary corrections. Thanks!

Senior Band plays at "Christmas at City Hall"

Hi Senior Band!  I booked us in for a performance at "Christmas at City Hall."  We will perform from 12:40-1pm on Monday, December 15th.  Our repertoire will be (in order):

- Flourish for Wind Band

- Medley from How the Grinch Stole Christmas

- Themes from the Nutcracker Suite

We will be responsible for our own instruments and music (INCLUDING percussion equipment).  I will be bring a van to help transport big items such as timpani, etc.  Make sure to be organized with your instrument and folder on that day, as we will be on a tight schedule over the lunch hour and won't have extra time to wait before going on stage.

This will be a lot of fun. :o)  Can't wait!

Choir trip to Saskatoon - update

Hi choir girls!  Our performance in Saskatoon is coming up in only 5 days now.  We will be taking a bus to Saskatoon, which will leave from the school at 5pm.  A letter will be sent home for your parents shortly.

Also, we have our accompaniment recorded onto a CD so we will be able to practice with it next rehearsal.  See you then!

Penitential Choir rehearsal date change (with a cameo appearance by the online theory program)

The date for the next Penitential Choir rehearsal is changed from tomorrow (Tuesday) to Thursday at 12pm due to tomorrow's noon dismissal. See you then!

Also, our online theory program administrator has asked me to inform all of the students who use the program that they should NOT be using the blog feature. He has to spend a lot of time moderating comments and monitoring student usage, so please refrain from using the feature. There is no need to use it for the purposes of our classes anyway. Thanks!

Band handbook Acknowledgement forms due tomorrow (Friday)

The acknowledgement form from the back of the Band Handbook is due by tomorrow, November 21st.  Please bring it to me during rehearsal (if I have you tomorrow), or drop it off to me in my classroom.  Please make sure that your name and the date are on it, along with a parent or guardian signature.  Thanks.

Please note also that the schedule for tomorrow has changed, and band is now in the morning.  Check for the announcement tomorrow.
