Another day, another rehearsal, and love!

Tuesday turned out to be too cold to play the intended game at Choir School (see tomorrow's entry for all of THAT), but there was lots to do just the same. In the first photo at left, Carolyn Keirstead works with the choir during one of the rehearsals in the theatre. But it wasn't all work on Tuesday... no, no, no! Tuesday had a theme at Choir School, LOVE! For some unknown reason, love seemed to be expressed that day by superheroes (don't ask; you might find out). In the second photo, captian Love, and his faithful sidekick, Sugar, defend the good people of Choir School from... well, we can only guess it's in the roof of the chapel. Stayed tuned for more antics - the Variety Show is tonight!

SUN on Monday!

Indeed, the sun finally broke through for some of yesterday, and we enjoyed it for all it was worth! It was a great first full day, although some of the kids (and staff, too!) were more than ready for bed by the end of the day. The choir was able to read all the way through the psalm setting, looked at the Mag and Nunc, responses, and more. All this, plus a little fun on the soccer field, two chapel services, and some great meals. This is worth mentioning: the BOYS on 3rd floor MacKay had the cleanest room of everyone, and were thus awarded the first trip to the tuck shop after rehearsal in the afternoon. So much for the reputation of boys not knowing how to be neat! Now we challenge the girls to catch up!

We're here!!!

Choir School 2009 has begun! The junior choristers arrived today, and unpacked between rain showers. The sun has shone in Rothesay, too! Voice testing and chapel tonight, and then a good night's sleep before tomorrow's activities.

How to Know When Choir School Is Here...

Tomorrow is the day!! Many young choristers (and young at heart, too!) are likely saying to themselves, "just one more sleep" as Choir School #52 is about to kick off! Remember to check this blog site for daily updates and news about what's going on during the week of Choir School! As you can see from the photo at the left, it is easy for a certain Music Director's neighbours to know that Choir School is just around the corner. See you in about 25 hours!

The countdown is shorter...

Just a few more days until Rothesay-Netherwood School doesn't know what hit it! Once again, daily blog updates will be available here - tell your parents, friends, etc. For those attending, start packing! This is Year 52, and we hope the rain has finished for a while, so that everything can be the very best. Stay tuned for more...

Applications!

For those of you looking to work at Choir School as counselling staff, time is running short! An application form must be filled out this year (yes, it's something new), and returned to me (Chris). Go to the website to get the form, and get it sent by Apr. 24th, the deadline!

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!
