Wow! I can't believe I haven't written for weeks. Then I think about the blizzard and the program delay and it becomes more believable.
Over 40 singers were able to join us at Washington Park for the blessing of the Nativity. (Pictures above from Washington Park outing.) Luckily, the weather wasn't too cold and there was a nice crowd. Singing acapella outside is rather challenging, but the choir did very well. Those who ventured down to the KC Hall seemed to enjoy the cocoa and goodies.
I was very proud of the choir after their performances last Thursday! The sound was quite amazing! Mrs. Apel and Mrs. Grant said they received so many compliments and comments about how good this young choir is. What I also appreciate about this group is how they watch (other people notice this too) and how they followed directions about getting on and off the risers with only one practice. They also did a fantastic job remembering their choir line up!
I hope we have school on Tuesday so the students get a chance to watch/hear themselves. I also have treats for them. I am working on finalizing dates for the choir to sing the National Anthem at Wahlert basketball games. We will be singing at St. Anthony Church on Jan. 31 at 10:30 Mass to kickoff Catholic Schools Week. The following weekend, we'll be singing at the Holy Family breakfast to conclude Catholic Schools Week.
