Hello CoroVoce:

Now that Halloween is behind us, we look towards Remembrance Day, and then Christmas.  Please reserve Tuesday, December 3 as an extra rehearsal date.  We will be working on our opening and closing numbers for the Christmas Concert with Picollini and Soundwave.  The place is Kitchener School in the gym at 4:00 p.m.  We will then rehearse our own numbers in the music room and dismiss at 5:15 p.m.  We realize it is not our usual date or site, and students may have other after school activities planned, but please try and make arrangements to be there.

See you on Thursday CoroVoce!  Start memorizing those words in your head and your heart.

Be safe out there next week CoroVoce members!  No rehearsal next Thursday, October 31.  We will resume the following week!

Spookily…..

Ms. Fletcher, Ms. Ishii, Ms. Little, Ms. Fierro

Dear CoroVoce Members:

Yesterday a yellow notice was sent home explaining about the wonderful opportunity we have in the Spring to work with Coastal Sound Choir on a song commissioned especially for our two choirs!  It contains many important dates that you need to save NOW so please take a close look at them.  Here is the letter:

corovoce newsletter october 17 2019

The entire team continues to be amazed and impressed with the high level of singing and dedication this year!  We have learned so much and there is so much more to do, but we are confident that with continued practice, the results will be brilliant!

More auditions for verses in Jamaican Noel will happen next week as well as moving forward on all our songs so be sure to look them ALL over this week!

If you do, perhaps the Great Pumpkin will pay you a visit!

In song,

The CoroVoce Team

Dear CoroVoce Students:

We continue to be thankful for all your beautiful singing each week!  Sectionals were amazing yesterday and really solidified some parts.  Please spend some time reviewing our work of yesterday.

Next week a VERY IMPORTANT handout will be going home.  I will also be posting it on the blog here, but please read it carefully!  More exciting information will be forthcoming, so stay tuned!

Remember to mark Tuesday, DECEMBER 3 on your calendars as a joint rehearsal at Kitchener from 4:00 to 5:15.  We will be working with Piccollini and SoundWave Handbell Choir on the opening and closing numbers.  We will then have a quick rehearsal in their music room until 5:15.  Please be there if at all possible.

I’ve added some new subscribers to our blog.  If you wish to receive notifications, please send me an email and you will be added.

Auditons for solos on Jamaican Noel will begin next week!  Have a look at some of the YouTube postings for reference!

Happy Turkey Day!!

Dear Corovoce Members:

The rehearsals just keep getting better and better! Thank you for all your hard work thus far. Please work on the following songs that we reviewed yesterday:

• your part on Jamaican Noel
• the German words for Kling Glockchen
• Angel’s Carol, the harmony on Gloria
• Clap Your Hands lyrics

Next week we will begin doing some sectionals to tighten up our harmonies.  We will also be introducing Rudolphs Ragtime Razza Ma Tazz, a very spirited new song as well as Christmas is Coming.

Please note the error regarding the date of the rehearsal at Kitchener.  It’s December 3!! (Tuesday) 

Next week I will be sending home a notice asking if you’re receiving a notification regarding the blog postings.  If you’re not receiving an email telling you there’s a new blog post, please send me an email and I’ll add you to the subscriber’s list.

Hello CoroVoce:

I’m sure there were a great many orange shirts worn today at school for Orange Shirt Day.    We had another amazing practice last Thursday and the entire team was excited to see the progress made on your beautiful singing as well as your musicianship!  Next week we will begin to hand out folders and music.  This music costs a great deal of money and we sincerely hope you take care of each piece.  Please feel free to add “pencil” markings if the directors ask you to focus on a certain note, or word, but otherwise, keep your music in good condition.  Folders are free to borrow for the year and must be returned at the end of April.  Or, you may purchase one to keep forever!  Please bring $35 cash or a cheque made out to The Burnaby School Board.  No online payment is possible for these, sorry!

We will be putting you into the subscribers list soon so if you don’t receive a push notification, we hope you will soon!

Please also put Tuesday, November 3 on your calendar.  This will be a joint rehearsal held with Picollini at Kitchener Elementary from 4:00 to 5:15.

Below is a link to Ms. Fletcher’s blog which we hope you will be able to access to hear some of our songs.  

And stay tuned….news about the secret word is coming soon as well as the pizza party!!!

2. Bring your registration form with you as well if you have not already done so.
3. Drop off your child by the outside door of Room 201.
