Kiwanis Showcase Concert
Acknowledgements
It's so great to be back to performing in person! We are so proud of all our large and small ensembles as they prepared for their performances in front of an adjudicator and audience. We are so appreciative of the adjudicators, their expertise, and their thoughtful feedback.
Thanks also to parents for your support during this time. We are very lucky to have such flexible and understanding members of staff who have helped with adjustments to their schedules so we could fit in all those extra rehearsals!
Thank you to Mr. Cairns and Metropolitan United Church for the performance space, sound, and lighting for tonight's concert.
Thanks to Emma Z. from 7MM for designing the poster and program cover for tonight’s concert.
- Mr. Allison & Mr. Van Pelt
Reminders
Please silence all electronic devices.
Food and drink are not permitted in the sanctuary.
As audience participation and corresponding etiquette is an integral part of the performance, we would ask that all parents remain until the completion of the Kiwanis Showcase concert. We have strived to make this evening as short as possible and still celebrate the accomplishments of our wonderful students.
