WHITE ROCK SUMMER MUSIC RECITAL

Our music recital is fast approaching.  We have divided it into 3 sessions.  Please note the time that your teacher circled as that is the time that you are playing in. If you need an accompanist, make sure you sign up today for a time to rehearse with her. Admission is by donation of non-perishable items for the Food Bank.

Date:  Saturday, May 29, 2010
Location:  Emmanuel Evangelical Covenant Church
Address: 17029-16 Avenue, Surrey

Directions:  (from the music school) turn right out of our parking lot on to King George Highway. Proceed south to 16th Avenue and turn left. Proceed east on 16th Avenue until you see the church on your left just past the Dart Garden Park.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

As the end of the year fast approaches, so does the date for the Choir's performance of "The Granny Awards".  This year's recital is scheduled for Saturday, May 29 at 3:30pm at Emmanuel Evangelical Covenant Church. 

In order for this production to be a success, it is necessary for us to have some extended and additional rehearsals with all of the choir members.  Every child's participation is needed for the musical, so please make the rehearsals a priority.  If, for any reason, your child has to miss a rehearsal, please let me know as soon as possible. Also, keep in mind that many students have important speaking roles, and the group is counting on them to be in attendance.

The following dates will be extended rehearsals that will join the Jr. and Sr. Choirs from each location, thus giving the group extra time to rehearse the music and script.

Walnut Grove - Wednesdays, May 5, 12, 19 and 26 (5-6pm).
Guildford - Wednesdays, May 5, 12, 19 and 26 (6:30pm-7:30pm).
White Rock - Thursdays, May 6, 13, 20 and 27 (5-6pm).

In addition, we will be holding a Staging Dress Rehearsal at Emmanuel Covenant Church on Saturday, May 15 from 10am-12 noon.  This will be the only chance for the choir to practice on stage and rehearse the entire play with all of the choir members together, so it is essential for everyone to attend.

Our final rehearsal will be a Music Dress Rehearsal at the Guildford School of Music on Friday, May 28 from 7-8pm.  This will be the only chance for the choir to rehearse the music with our accompanist Joanne, and will be a chance to go over any last-minute details. 

Thank you for your support of the Choir. I know that the students are very excited about performing "The Granny Awards" for all their friends and family, and trust that you will enjoy their musical production.  Please feel free to speak with me regarding any questions or concerns you may have.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Amaris Gray, Choir Director
