WMF PERFORMANCE THIS SATURDAY

WMF PERFORMANCE THIS SATURDAY:

1. Our Winnipeg Music Festival date is Saturday, March 5th. We are in three classes, performing 6 songs, accompanied by Andrew St. Hilaire and Katie Abraham - Lobster Quadrille, Plaisir d'Amour, 'Tis the Gift to Be Simple, Bandyrowe, Ave Maria, and Celtic Blessing. We are very fortunate to have Ms. Armstrong warm up the JCC from 1:00PM-1:30PM, while Ms. Russell and Ms. Abraham will be on the stage with the Westwood Chamber Choir. Following Westwood's performance, the JCC will take the stage from 1:30PM until 2:15PM. Students are asked to arrive at Westminster United Church (corner of Maryland & Westminster) by 12:30PM in their concert attire, and will sit with Ms. Armstrong in the church, until they are called to their warm-up room at 1:00PM. Vest moms will be there to assist. As there will not be a choir performing in the church until 1:00PM, vests can be put on before going into warm-up.  This way, Ms. Armstrong can have enough time to warm-up the choir.  We are really looking forward to this performance, and it will be great to have all the parents, families, and friends in the audience. General admission is $4.00 at the door, with free admission for children 12 & under.
