It’s been a busy week for the students participating in the BSC. Last Saturday we enjoyed the combined choirs polishing rehearsal in Carlton – thanks to those who made the effort and sacrifice to attend. The children were so attentive and energetic for the lengthy session, working with live musicians and learning actions for many of the items. They went home with a great buzz! Well done! Special thanks to Elinor and Mr Ru (If you didn’t make the rehearsal, be sure to learn the actions on YouTube).

 

 

1 week to go!

 

WHAT NEXT?

 

  • Rehearsals 
    • Bernadette will be away next Wednesday for our usual practices so the Boitechoir will meet on Tuesday instead. There will be no early morning rehearsal next week – thanks so much to those students and families who made the effort.
    • Please keep an eye on Seesaw and other school notifications for changes to rehearsal schedule. 
  • Home learning 
    • Thanks to those who’ve been supporting home learning of the material – it shows!! If you need any more support accessing links or lyrics contact Ru or Bernadette
    • All students will be singing Part 1. The relevant clip is made clear on the youtube link. Once they are confident with their voice part, it will be useful to listen to the “All Parts” clips to hear how it all fits together.
