Uh, a Little Help?

For the past few years, every morning at 11:00am at Choir School, some choristers have taken part in a program called, for lack of a better term, "Christian Faith in Our Culture." Often, this consisted of looking at some kind of video, or listening to music that was currently on the popular charts, and discussing how these things affect us as Christian people. These times have generated some really great conversation, and I have really learned a lot myself from you during these times.

What I want to know is whether you chorsiters who took part in these sessions want more of this. Does this continue to help you in some way? Or, is there something else altogether that I'm missing that we could be doing here? This program, this hour each day during Choir School, is planned mostly in reaction to what I hear from you. So, now I'm asking, seriously. What would help you, or what would you be interested in doing during this time? Your answer will help me to decide what takes place during this time slot. Perhaps it will be mroe of the same, or something really new. Let me know what you feel!

The Gathering...

This wonderful church, St. Paul's in Sackville, NB was the site of the latest meeting of the Choir School, as they met to continue plans for this coming summer. John Hudson, our music director, presented a report on music to be sung this year (including Standford's Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in G). The whole outline of music looked great (I hear there is a hidden message within these great works of music that he put together; I call it "The Hudson Code"). Also, the Head Counsellors, Heather Harrison and Dani Gautreau, brought us all up-to-date on what they've been doing. The counselling staff have been set (see the STAFF page on the website), and other details are being finalized. We're only 7 weeks away!!!!

New additions...

First off, let me say that I am TERRIBLE at posting regularly. However, now that so much is coming up so fast, I hope to be posting more regularly. The great news that I get to share with you is that we have most of our counselling staff in place now for Choir School 2006! All are very keen, and have great leadership skills already. More than that, they are all people who are looked up to by others at Choir School, and are dedicated to using their gifts of singing. Go to the website, which has just been updated (www.choirschoolsite.com) to see the list, as it currently stands. Keep checking the site, there will be more updates coming along!
