1. Welcome to Hannah! It's great having another great chorister in the Junior Choir!

2. The Prep Choir rehearsed with the Juniors today. Mike reminded us of the text in Snowman, where did you go?" Good work learning the text to the song. Sing along to this recording. https://youtu.be/Bu9Jz-L7OmM?si=XovD1kr4p5tBttZ7

3. Snow is Falling - on "Still, Still" be light on the second quarter note. This is almost memorized. Follow along with this choir as you practice each line. https://youtu.be/DSsPvnPpNnE?si=0rds5ZD7tjBhyi1T

4. If the Snow Could Sing - this is almost memorized as well. Look over the text. You can use this recording when you practice - https://youtu.be/Z0Z-p_YwXtc?si=hfq5N1LGa2JAuP_1

5. Please listen to instructions and comments during rehearsal. It's important to listen to whomever is talking so that we don't repeat questions during the rehearsal.

6. Remember to do your one page in your theory books.

7. HAPPY HALLOWE'EN and GO JAYS GO!

And we're back

I could tell it is a Blue Jays night in Toronto...the energy was very high today in choir!

1. Adam came in and listened to our musical creations from Music Camp. We will work on these for our Orff presentation in the new year.

2. See if you can write words to go with your percussive sounds - What is the song of the fir tree? How would the Fir tree feel knowing someone wanted to carve him? What would the villagers say? Use these ideas to think of a poem or a few lines to add to your music.

3. Welcome to Hannah! It was great having you visit today! I hope you come back and join us each week!

4. Next week, I will have a new seating chart - more to go with your voice type but also to stop some of the chatting during rehearsal time.

5. Please do one page in your theory books.

6. See if you can memorize "Snow is Falling".

7. Keep selling the Sweet Treats for our fundraiser.

8. Have a great week - Go Jays Go!
