Christmas Assembly Update

Hi Choir!

Sorry for all the switching, this is the last time, I promise. For the talent show assembly we will be singing Will You Be There, Home, Christmas Time's A Comin', and Have a Holly Jolly Christmas. We'll be singing Holly Jolly a cappella (no musical accompaniment) and we'll be clapping throughout, so I need you to memorize the lyrics because you won't be able to hold your book. There's only a couple of verses but we'll be doing some cool percussive stuff. It will end up sounding something like the video in the link below.

Christmas Talent Show!!

Hi choir members!

I can't thank you enough for your fantastic performance at the school Remembrance Day assembly. You really let your voices soar and captured the emotion of each piece as you sang through them. It was truly wonderful and you should be proud with your efforts. Thank you also for your dedication and practice, it really shows.

So, what's next? Christmas talent show! We'll be singing the MJ song we've been working on as well as "Home" by Phil Philips. Along with that we'll aim to sing a couple of seasonal tunes to put everyone in the spirit before we part for this special holiday. Here are links to all the songs we'll be a  singin'.

Sing along at home! See you Monday!

Mr. B
