PRIMARY MUSICAL THEATRE CHOIR
I would like to invite all third graders to join Musical Theatre Choir this spring. We will be rehearsing weekly on Day 4 at 11:45 a.m.
in the gym. We are trying to become the best musicians we can be, so it
is important that we rehearse together as often as possible. Students
who miss many rehearsals may not be able to sing with us at our upcoming
performances.
If you are interested, please sign up by Friday, March 10th. There will be a sign-up sheet posted at Room 16.
Calling all parents!
If you play the piano/keyboard and would like to play the accompaniment for our set, please contact me at jessica.bloomfield@tdsb.on.ca
