Chorale at CAMS in Winnipeg

We are in Winnipeg enjoying the musical experience at Canadian Association of Schools Music Festival.

The Chorale has spent Friday intensively (6 hours today - mostly on their feet) rehearsing for the  Mass Band and Mass Choir concert on Sunday.  The guest conductor is Dr. Elroy Friesen of the University of Manitoba, and a former director at one of the CAMS schools. He has pushed the singers to new heights of musicianship!



This evening each school sang/performed a song for each other in a very informal concert. We sang "Deep River".

The singers get to sleep in tomorrow, the directors have brunch, and then back to the rehearsing in the afternoon!
