Aspotogan Consolidated Elementary School

We had a great turn-out last night in Lunenbrug and the kids sounded absolutely fabulous! Thanks to all the parents, grandparents and friends who came out to support the choir. It was great that so many were able to stay, some right to the end, to hear the other performers. There are some excellent young up-and-coming musicians in Lunenburg County!

The choir was awarded the Barbara E. Butler Elementary Chorus Rose Bowl which we get to keep for the year, plus a plaque which we can keep forever! The close-ups of the photos show our school name twice (in 2006 we tied for first place with Lunenburg Academy).

Great job everyone!

Stars of the Festival Concert - Saturday, May 4^th at the Central United Church, near the bandstand in Lunenburg. 

Students need to wear their black and white outfits + plaid sash  - sashes are coming home May 3rd but will need to be returned on Monday morning to Mrs McClair, as we will need them again next Thursday for the videotaping.

The concert starts at 7 PM, however, choir members should meet me in the church at 6:15 for a quick rehearsal. As Mrs MacKay cannot attend the concert, we have another person filling in on the piano so a quick practice is necessary.

Participants do not pay admission but everyone else will need a ticket to get in – these are available at the door. I have been told that the students will be sitting up in the pews near the front.

The concert will last about an hour and a half – there are 20 different acts, all first place winners. We are scheulded to sing fifth and will be presented with an award right after we sing. Everyone is encouraged to stay and listen, however, if you have to leave early it has been requested that you leave quietly in between numbers.

See you on Saturday!
