Goodbye Burns, hello new music!

Our 2013 Burns season went rather swimmingly. We had two afternoon perfomances (one at Amica at Douglas House and one at Berwick House on Shelbourne) and one evening Burns dinner at the Unitarian Church on West Saanich. We had a grand time at all three events and our audiences highly enjoyed themselves. I saw many people singing along and we even got a standing ovation at the Unitarian Church! Of course, the dinner was, as always, tasty and filling and choir members did their best to dance off the haggis post-dinner.

We've got a few weeks off before our next two performances in April, Tartan Day on the 6th and the Kirkin' o' the Tartan on the 7th, and are busily working on two new songs that we're hoping to debut in April. We're also brushing up on some songs in our repertoire that we haven't sung in a while, so rehearsals are busy as always. The music for this year's Mod has arrived and we will likely be learning that soon in order to expand our repertoire and to further prepare ourselves for our own Mod trip in 2014. No rest for the wicked!

April will be a busy time for me as The Importance of Being Earnest will be running the first two weekends and then I begin my first practicum. I'll be teaching grade one at David Cameron Elementary for six weeks and am looking forward to getting my hands dirty in a real classroom. Never fear, I'll be teaching them some music and perhaps even a little Gaelic! We'll see how much my mentor teacher allows me to get away with.

In the meantime, I wish you all a happy spring. I really hope this mild weather lasts as I'm about to plant some vegetables in my garden! Hope to see you in our audience in April.
