Hello Choristers and Parents,

I just wanted to congratulate you on a successful opening to the 2016-2017 School Year.  The choristers are already off to a great start!

Choir Camp was as successful as ever, especially with the added experience of singing a Sunday Service at All Saints.  Our River Road Church concert was also well attended and of course the talent show was jaw-dropping!  The choir truly came together as a team during Capture the Flag, Water Balloon Dodgeball, and the Best Game Ever which are sure to be staples of choir camp for year to come.  Luckily with the new Choir Camp schedule we were all able to get some rest over Labor Day Weekend to be ready for the Opening Ceremonies for both schools on Tuesday and Wednesday.  

The Nationals Game was also another success, with the Choristers performing the National Anthem.  Their Facebook video of the performance has already reached over 10,000 views!  

Then, to cap everything off, or welcome back Evensong on September 11th was a spectacular showing of the hard work these students have already put in for the beginning of school.  Thank you to everyone for your hard work thus far!

Here are somethings to watching out for:

1. Weekday Evensong begin on Monday, September 19th (4:45 Rehearsal, 5:30 Evensong, 6:15 Departure)
2. Installation of Honorary Diocesan Canons on Sunday, September 25th Evensong (Boys)
3. Beauvoir Breakfast on Monday, September 26th (Talk it up!)
4. Berlioz, Te Deum Rehearsal on October 14th (7-9PM)
