It's Back...

After far too much time between updates, finally, there is a post! The news today is that the Choir School website has been completely revamped! New design, new pages, new information. For those who are hoping to be a Counsellor or CIT, there is something new that has finally been put into place - an application form. Just like any other camp, prospective counsellors must fill out an application, even if you've worked at Choir School before. Get on it - the deadline is April 24th!

Choir School Completes the Week!

Sorry for the rather abrupt end to blog notes... the Internet service at RNS was down over the weekend. We did, however, have a wonderful Saturday, and completed the week Sunday afternoon with a beautiful service of worship at Trinity Church in Saint John. Look for an update to the Choir School website next month, with new pictures from the week. Thanks to everyone who was a part of everything!

Thursday Service in Saint John!

Choir School took it to the road last night, as we travelled to St. Mary's and St. Bartholomew's Church in east Saint John. There, the congregation welcomed us with a great meal for supper, as well as treats after the service! There was a great turnout from the whole community, and many of the adults arriving for the adult portion of Choir School were with us as well. It was a wonderful night!

Tuesday... another great day!

The Choir School engaged in a much-loved game of Dough Boy yesterday (two teams, each with water guns and bags of flour, trying to protect their "queen"... you get the idea. It was a great time for all, lots of running around, shouting, and water flying everywhere. yes, we also did some singing!! There were many great moments yesterday, and many new friendships are becoming more and more solid. Today, they continue working on their acts for the Variety Show, which takes place tonight. Always lots going on! Remember, parents, feel free to email me a note for your child, if you like (chris.hayes@anglican.nb.ca).

Big Day Monday; Tues. looks great!

It was a big day on Monday, with lots going on, including rehearsals, a game of Capture the Flag, and other great activities. Today, more of the same, with a game of "Dough Boy" thrown in (imagine a field full of kids, some with bags of flour, and other with water guns... you get the idea). The weather looks great, the kids are in great spirits... what more could we ask for?

Getting Down to Business on Monday!

Monday is well along, and there has been lots going on already. Our first rehearsals revealed a VERY promising choir, with lots of basic skills already in hand. the group broke into three smaller groups for Christian Ed., Christian Culture, and a Heather's singing group. Add lunch, another rehearsal, and it is time for a hour of rest before the big "Capture the Flag" game. Then there is supper, rehearsal....

We're Live!

Choir School has begun, and as I write this at 7:45, voice testing has just bee completed. Daily blog entries will try to keep people up-to-date on what's going on. Parents - if you wish to send a message to your child, please email me (chris.hayes@anglican.nb.ca), and the Choir School postal service will ensure the message gets through. More news to come!

2 Days... 2 l-l-o-o-n-n-g-g days...
