King of Kings -- Christmas Concert 2010

I'm throwing this up quickly so my class can watch the concert.

They LOVED it!

Please contact the school to order

or email

Risky recommendation....

Skip the Christmas present thing and take your family to a live Messiah concert this year in some terrific cathedral. It will become one of the 'awesome' lifelong memories of childhood, guaranteed.

In the market for some more new music?

....while you wait for the new school CD to emerge of course! :)

The Getty's are featured too. Go figure.

Getting ready for the Christmas Concert!

Please visit the official website of modern hymn writers Keith & Kristyn Getty and discover with us the fabulous songs of these amazing hymn writers! We are preparing no less than five of their hymns including

Lo! What is this sound I hear?

Choir's back! And we're happy :)

Great Hymns of Faith and Other Favourites

YAY! We did it! We put down TWENTY songs for our new CD and what an experience it has been! Such focus. Such incredible stick-to-it-tive-ness. Such EVERYthing!

I am so pleased and...a bit foggy too. :)

Yesterday, the concert participants rec'd their very own colour copy of the concert program.

(Thankyou Miss J for the most perfect classy program ever!)

Now I'd like the members of the CCS choir to report their favourite song and tell us what makes it their favourite song.

It's easy.

You click on comments and a box pops up.

You put the cursor in the box and type out your comment.

You pick an identity - choose anonymous and click on the comment button.

Voila! It appears like magic on the beautiful black backdrop.

Someday, we'll turn it all into a hardcover book.

Then you will have your own CD recording and published book!

You will be famous and travel the world and Oh, the places you will go!

Oh you're in for something good!

Oh what fun!

Singing!

Singing with violins!

And a trumpet and horn!

And a harp!

What a glorious sound it was. Come join the fun on Friday :)

Wednesday's Mass Rehearsal

At Rehoboth church 7pm!

Orchestra (very) Fine Tuning

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!

The Easter Program

Easter Program

Wasn't that a great program? I just LOVE watching the kids singing their hearts out :)

To begin your Easter weekend: Holy, Holy, Holy

It's called 'The calm before the storm'

The little front row ladies

An excellent maiden performance in solo singing!

The steady gaze of concentration...

And this young man may have the makings of minister yet...

By and large - an impressive show of discipline and concentration

A concert preview

Come Thou Fount/Come Thou King

And the Big People Choir Worked hard too!

And now, thanks to the time and talents of our own shutter-bug Miss J, we have visual evidence that our adult community choir...

.... does far more than sit around - drinking - coffee n' such

*sigh* Is this not a beautiful sight?

... as well as 'sound'!

This dedicated member put in an exceptional performance by 'skipping out' only early enough to help his wife have a baby.

How does one trump that sort of commitment?

The famous 'Dr. A' ... a theologian musician like Bach :)

Very studious bunch

whom I greatly admire

Making the Most of March Break

Gotcha Todd!

Luv y'all!

27 choristers for three hours? They were as stellar as the sunshine outdoors!

Wonderful, Warm and yes - Wet bums!

A picnic sort of lunch in the great outdoors on March 17.

Who would have guessed?

They got rhythm a plenty!

Girl power ... Woot!

Songbirds

See what I mean?

The young male choir contingent - these guys did really well
