Site Maintenance

Our Choir School site is currently unavailable, as we switch to a new service provider. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused! It will be back up and running in January.

More Choir School T-Shirts

The famous Choir School T-Shirt has been an important part of Choir School for many years now. The current colour of the shirt is a closely-guarded secret each year, until Thursday arrived, when the T-shirt is revealed, to great exhilaration and joy to all who see it (OK, that might be pushing things just a bit). The point is this: THERE ARE MORE T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE!!! For the simple cost of shipping ($5), you could have one sent right to your door. Simply speak with FC (Father Chris), and one could be sent out. Contact him by email (chris.hayes@anglican.nb.ca), and send your address to him. There are limited quantities (mostly in the smaller sizes; for example, there are no adult large or extra-large remaining).

What a Beautiful Bunch!

Here are the choristers of Choir School 2010. See how well they can look at a camera when told to do so! They make a rather cute bunch, wouldn't you say?

Chanting Choristers are up!!!

That's right - all six issues of 2010's Chanting Chorister are now available on the website (. Read and/or download today!

UPDATE!

Now that most of Choir School is awake after a very busy, fantastic, yet tiring week, check out the updated site, which includes pictures from CS2010. Of course, there are hundreds of pictures being posted on Facebook this week, too! Thanks again to everyone for doing your part to make the last week really wonderful, and better than if you were not there. Enjoy the rest of the summer, everyone!

Saturday... Day 7... the Last Full Day!

What a great day... the rain finally came late in the evening, which broke though humidity; though, as we know now, it would not be for very long. A great day of rehearsals, games in the gym, and the great presentations banquet, where everyone dressed up for a grand supper of stuffed chicken breast and other delights (including a rather heavenly chocolate cake!). Sorry for the lack of picts; as I write this, junior choristers are packing, adult choristers are singing, and that means I should be doing one or the other, and am actually doing neither! Pictures will be up of Saturday and today (Sunday) in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!

A "Pictorial" Kind of Day... Day 6

How much can a person pack into one day? Pretty soon, I believe Choir School will find out. Friday was another very full day for all of us, coming off the "high" of the Evensong service last night. Though Chapel attendance was a bit sparse for the kids, it was greatly enhanced by the arrival of the adult choir! 50 adult choristers now complete the Choir School experience, making our total size somewhere around 115 people. How often do you ever get to hear a big choir like that? Today was movie day; the kids gathered in the theatre and watched "Up," a great Pixar film. Before supper, however, was the grand Choir School photo shoot, which went very well (results are coming soon!) Also, tonight was the dance (with movie option), and a lot of kids, I am told, had a blast. Others made their way over to Quinn House to watch Peter Pan. Onward to Saturday!

Farming and Sussex.... Choir School Style, on Day 5

That's right, it was Farm Day today! We had moo-ing cows, farmer clothes, farmer hats, and even a larger-than-life basket of tomatoes (see pict)! After lunch and rehearsal, we set off this afternoon to beautiful Trinity Anglican Church in Sussex, to prepare for the Evensong service. What a time! A big thanks to all at the Church for feed the hungry hoard, and for having everything ready. The service itself was a wonderful time; in spite of the heat, well over a hundred people came out to take their part in this wonderful service, that is so rarely experienced today. The choir was amazing! It is always a good thing to get your best performance to date in when you most want it. With the adults now joining us (there are 50 of them!), things look to keep getting busier as the weekend approaches. Let's see what's in store for us all!
