Spring Preparations

How time flies! We've been busy this season singing away at many wonderful gigs including The Kirkin' o' the Tartan at St. Aidan's Church and the Tartan Day festival in April. It was lovely to have some sunshin for Tartan Day this year and the entertainment was varied and, well, entertaining! Some of us even managed to try out our weightlifting skills at the Highland Games heavy events demonstration.

For those who have been following my blog (as sparse as it's been), The Importance of Being Earnest was a success and I have fully recovered from that. I have, however, gone straight into a teaching practicum at David Cameron Elementary School and have been spending my days (and my "free time") chasing (and, hopefully, teaching) a fantastic class of grade one students and planning, preparing, planning and more preparing for lessons! It has been, so far, a busy but incredibly rewarding experience. Four more weeks to go!

And back to the choir news. We've been working diligently on some new songs, including the music for 2013 Royal National Mod in Scotland. We won't be attending that competition; however, it's excellent practice as preparation for our attendance the following year. And, of course, the music is fantastic anyway and will be a great addition to our repertoire. We're also busy preparing for the Highland Games over the Victoria Day long weekend in May. We will be performing in the Heritage Tent this year - a more intimate setting and a longer performance slot. The festival is going to be an exciting one this year with many top competitors for the heavy events and pipe band competitions as well as appearances from this year's special guest and Chieftan of the Games, His Highness the Duke of York, Prince Andrew. We will have a booth there all weekend as usual, so be sure to drop in and visit us while you're checking out the other events at the Games... and be sure to come see our performance on Saturday (the 18th) at 2:30! See you then!
