Dear Singers:

 

We’re halfway through Spring Break and I hope you’re enjoying yourselves!  Even in the rain, we live in a beautiful part of the world!  I just wanted to let you know that when we return we are going to be very busy!  I hope you have really worked on our repertoire so all we need to do is “polish” them together.  Commit your lyrics to memory so you can sing from your heart, and learn your melodies well so we blend and so magnificent!  Here are a few updates!

T-shirts 

Congratulations to Ayesha whose design was chosen for this year’s t shirts.  When you come in next Monday, head straight outside and put your name, school, and t shirt size on the form on the table.  There are samples for you to try on as well.  Please, please always choose bigger so you get proudly wear your shirt for a while!

Tickets

These will be available next week.  Please pay using school cash online.  I’m not sure when the link will be live, but it will be soon!  Please purchase 2 tickets and hopefully we will have more to sell closer to the date of the show. (May 12)  Bring your school cash online receipt in hard copy or on your phone.  If you would like preferred seating, please see me as that is the reward for helping out with ticket sales the night of the performance!

Tour

Our school tour this year will be Tuesday, May 6.  We are going to Seaforth, Second Street, Buckingham, and Brantford as they were the schools who responded first to my email!  Drivers….to save on the cost of bussing, we are asking parents to drop off at Seaforth at 8:30 a.m., and pick up from Brantford at 3:00 p.m.  There will be a consent form that needs to be signed and brought back by April 14.  Please make sure you take one on March 31.

Please note, there are no costs for the t shirts, or the school tour.  These monies come from your registration fees.

Happy Half way through the break!  Get those lyrics memorized!

In song,

Mrs. Fierro, Mr. Nguyen, Kurtis and Caeden

Good Afternoon Singers:

I hope you’re checking the clouds in the sky and the weather forecast….and the blog of course, to see if we can gather this Monday.  I will post here only if we cancel.  And I will do this by 1:00 p.m.  If you don’t see any posts, I will see you at South Slope!

Here is some ASL for our song, This is Me.  You’re welcome to begin to rehearse this.  As well, keep rehearsing yourself if you’d like a solo in This is Me, or For Good.

Click here for the ASL that you can practice with.

Hopefully we will see you on Monday!

Dear Singers:

I hope you’ve enjoyed learning Swedish with Who Can Sail?  I cannot wait to hear you on Monday!

More copies of This is Me and Java Jazz have arrived.  We are still waiting on A Thousand Years, but I will photocopy some for Monday as we do have permission to do so.

I will be handing out We Are One, Two Tigers, and For Good on Monday.  I believe that completes our repertoire for now.  Please practice if you’re interested in a solo in For Good or for This is Me.

T Shirt Contest papers will be handed out on Monday as well.  If there is a hidden artist in you and you’d like to submit a t-shirt design that we will wear at the Spring Concert, please submit it by February 10.

And speaking of the Spring Concert….save the date!  It’s Monday, May 12 at Michael J Fox!

We have an ambitious repertoire this term and we’re really looking forward to challenging you with many songs!

Lyrical dancers – please let me know if you would like to be part of some lyrical dancing in A Thousand Years.

I believe that is all for now.  Please enjoy the brilliant sunshiny days!

Important Memo Regarding December!

If you purchase online, please bring in the receipt or show me the receipt on your phone to receive your 2 tickets. Extra tickets will be available beginning November 23.   Tickets are $10 each.

The Shape of the Concert Day (December 2)

A reminder that students need to be at the theatre, in their white collared shirts and black slacks, or skirts by 3:30 p.m. Or, they can come in their regular clothes, but have their performance clothes ready for later.   We will rehearse our numbers, then the mass number until 4;30 and then students will be dismissed to their parents.  Please take your children away for a break, possibly some food, and return to the green room at the theatre no later than 6:10.

Hair, Make-up, and Footwear – We expect our choir to look as polished as their songs.  All members need to have neat, tidy hair, off the face as much as possible.  Some light make-up and lip colour would help to brighten the face but are not absolutely necessary.  In terms of footwear, we are asking for black dress shoes or boots, or anything that is not a casual runner.

Here are the important dates upcoming for you to note:

Monday, November 25

Final rehearsal at South Slope for the year.  Music will be collected this day. (3:30 – 4:45)

Tuesday, November 26

Joint rehearsal at Marlborough with Piccolini. This will be held in the music room there, close to the parking lot off Grange St.  (3:30 – 4:45) Please come if you can.

Monday, December 2 – “Holiday Sing and Ring”  Concert at MJF (6:30)

NO REHEARSALS ON December 9 or 16, or January 6.

Our first rehearsal of the new year is January 13, 2025.

Looking forward to a wonderful concert!!

Your CoroVoce Team!
