Please mark your calendars for this exciting concert on December 10th, at the Centennial Concert Hall! There will be a morning rehearsal and an evening performance on Dec. 10th. Permission form for the Dec. 10th morning rehearsal is posted on the Edmodo Chamber Choir group, and available in hard copy in the Choral Room. Concert Dress for this performance is ALL BLACK, classic elegant - men in suits with shirt & tie. We'll add a sparkle touch of holiday garland to be in the Seasonal Spirit of this show! Our songs for this concert are two mash-ups - MOANA and Frozen, and a Flash Mob with Doc Walker and the RCAF Band - Joy To The World - Yes, we get to sing with the Bands - SO COOL, eh!
Here's a letter to us, from Col. Brian Quick about the concert:
Dear Westwood Collegiate friends: Thank you so much for working this concert into your busy schedule. Attached is the just released poster, and the above link is to the Centennial Concert Hall as ticket sales went live on 16 November RCAF, Doc Walker & Westwood Tickets We are very excited as this is a concert in support of the broader Winnipeg community and we felt strongly that whilst the “big name guest artist” is a crucial element to creating a successful event, the school choir aspect is what ties a big event back to our roots – the community. I will admit my personal bias and personal pride in that it is the Westwood Collegiate Choir participating, but as the overall owner of this concert I am grateful to have a quality group of young people on the stage. So thank you again.
As we work through the details, I want you to be aware that it is my intent to provide complimentary tickets to the choir (and director) so they can enjoy the entire show.
Thanking you again for your support.
Regards,
Brian
