Chloé is very active in the Oakville Children's Choir. It is her first year and she has learned a lot since starting in September. She has a beautiful, rich and low, alto voice which we hear, around the house, constantly. It is because of that consistency we know how much it has improved in the past few short months. I hope she sticks with the choir as it is a wonderful outlet for her - even though she finds it "slow". (Reminder: Chloe is my life-is-a-Disney-sitcom and immediate-gratification-or-whine child.)
This weekend the choir performed with Cadence, a four-man a cappella group. It was an all day affair. The first morning rehearsal was for an hour starting (after two hockey practices) at the Oakville Centre. We came home for lunch and then the real fun began: another rehearsal, Cadence gave the choir kids and volunteers a mini-performance and took questions, the performance started and I stayed in the dressing room area trying to maintain some order while the big performance was conducted on stage. It was a fun, if crazy, afternoon.
The kids are really fabulous, with wonderful musical direction and plenty of active volunteers. What a wonderful experience, for everyone. I'm so glad the music was piped in; so even though I couldn't enjoy the performance upstairs, I could hear it from start to finish.
