Dear Singers:

Let the countdown to summer begin!  What are we doing?  Looking at repertoire for the Christmas Concert!  lol  Anyway, thank you to those who have let us know they will be returning.  Auditions are being held next Monday, June 17 so please let us know before then either way and we will save a spot for you!

 

Please return your choir folder!  Even if you are returning in the fall, please return the folder and music!  You can either swing by South Slope and drop it by the office, or ask your music teacher to mail it to South Slope in the District mail.

Thank you!

See you for our first rehearsal on Monday, September 16 at 3:30 p.m.

In song,

Ms. Ishii, Mr. Nguyen, Mrs. Fierro

Dear Corovoce Singers:

We will be auditioning new members on June 17 and need to know how many spots to save for our returning members.  Please email me your intentions at:

teresa.jukich@burnabyschools.ca

If you are returning, or not returning, please email me either way.

It has truly been a wonderful experience conducting Corovoce this year.  Our Christmas Concert was fantastic, the bus tour outstanding, and our Spring Concert even more amazing.  Those students involved in the opening ceremonies of the National Orff Conference had an extra special added experience added to this year.  We hope we made many wonderful memories this year for you!

If you are not returning to Corovoce, best wishes and we hope you always remember your time in our choir.

Special thanks to our crew of Caeden and Kurtis who assist us in so many ways!  We appreciate you!

We wish you all safe travels and fun times this summer!  It’s time to recharge and get ready for another great session in the fall!

Dear Singers:

It has been a wonderful year in Corovoce.  Your beautiful singing has touched many hearts.  We wish you all a great end of year, and an exciting summer.  You are all invited back in the fall with a brand new repertoire just waiting to be sung!  YOU DO NOT NEED TO AUDITION!  If you are entering High School you are still most welcome to be a part of Corovoce, if you can fit us into your schedule 😉  Our first rehearsal is Monday, September 16 @3:30 in the music room at South Slope!

If you have any friends who would like to audition, there will be a notice going to your music teachers next week.  They will need to audition with their music teacher and then for us on Monday, June 17 from 3:15 – 5:30.

Until then, here are some pictures of the concert!
