On Wednesday evening I sang the national anthem for a girl's hockey game at Servus Place. We have been sending representatives from SAYS to sing the anthem for these games since about mid-fall. I have to say, it was a lot of fun and a great confidence booster, and I'm sure the singers who've done it before will agree. There are still some opportunities left this hockey season to go sing the anthem, so if you're interested, send a note to our manager (you will find her email address on your weekly e-newsletter and on our website) and ask about the available dates. You can sing with a partner or in a small group as well.
Okay, now back to business.
The Littles practiced "Muziki Vuma", "I Just Can't Wait to be King", and "Siyahamba". They also started learning "Rhythm of the Rain" and "Circle of Life", and had a puppet show about singing well together.
The Children's Choir sang through the songs they learned last time, and started with the flashlight choreography for "Firefly".
The Youth choir sang through "Circle of Life", "We Are One", "Watu Wote", and "Kwaheri Angu Rafiki" with the finalized soloists/duets/small groups involved in those songs. Next week, I will be teaching the sign language for the verses of "We Are One" to all those that want to and think they would be able to learn it and do it for the concert.
Minis start up soon! Then we can start making up the buddy lists for Youth, Littles, and Minis!
