There was a choir workshop this past weekend (Sep 25-27) where students who were interested in singing more intensely signed up.

The RJC Workshop Choir is directed by Saskatoon Youth Orchestra director Richard Carnegie during rehearsal.


After 11.5 hours of rehearsal between Friday after school and Sunday noon, the choir performed 6 songs at the Fall Concert, 2 of them with the Saskatoon Youth Orchestra who were also on campus for their fall workshop.

The SYO is directed by Richard Carnegie.  The orchestra has been coming to RJC for their fall workshop for over 15 years.
