Hello Armstrong Community!
As you may have heard from the students of Armstrong, we are busily preparing for a Concert which will take place on March 1st and 2nd.
Odd Divisions will perform on March 1st. Even Divisions will perform on March 2nd. Exceptions to this rule are that Division 20 will perform on March 1st and Division 19 will perform on March 2nd.
If you click on the links above for your child’s grade group, you will see the dances and musical numbers each class is starting to prepare. You can use these videos to begin practicing for the concert at home.
Our concert will be in the form of a musical play. The students in grade 6 and 7 have had the opportunity to sign up to be in the cast and have met a couple of times and gotten their scripts.
The rehearsal schedule will be as such:
We will rehearse on Thursdays and Fridays at lunchtime, starting in the music room.
On February 13th and 15th we will practice after school from 3:00 until 4:30pm.
On February 22nd and 27th we will practice from 3:00 until 5:00 for a full run through and a technical rehearsal respectively.
Please always communicate with Ms. Karlson if your child will not be able to attend one of these rehearsals if they are in the cast.
Other opportunities to help with the concert will come up in the next few weeks for the students. And if any parents want to help with costumes or sets, please email Ms. Karlson at sonja.karlson@burnabyschools.ca
In other news, Carnaval – the Quèbec Winter Festival – will be held at Armstrong the week of 23rd. The entire school is learning the song “Bonhomme, Bonhomme” to sing at the assembly that will kick off this festival. You can practice “Bonhomme, Bonhomme” with the video below:
