Our extra-curricular choir is excited to host a guest from the Vancouver Chamber Choir on Thursday, October 26th.  Our special guest will rehearse with the choir at lunch.  This is part of Vancouver Chamber Choir’s OnSite program. (see below)

OnSite is designed for small groups of elementary and secondary school students and their teachers or supervisors. The program, provided free of charge, offers a unique learning environment for students and teachers through attendance at a rehearsal, interaction with the conductor and singers, and attendance at the relevant concert.  OnSite is not only an experience to treasure, but also a way of establishing and building a long-term relationship between a school and the Vancouver Chamber Choir.

Thank you Vancouver Chamber Choir for this wonderful opportunity!

Welcome back everyone!  It’s good to be here!  Once again, we have subscribed to Musicplay.  This subscription is available to all our Confederation Park students.  Here is the website below and the password is a287836.  Have fun!
