Harmony Choir - Spring, 2008
I was so proud of the Harmony choir at the Blaine choir festival. The director, Patty Bourne had some really great things to say about this group! She even asked them to demonstrate to the large group how to file up to the risers during our dress rehearsal.
We were invited to sing at the Mt. Baker Community Talent Show on April 25th, 7pm. It was a great event and also a celebration of all the years that Mrs. Mellema served this community through her work putting together the Talent Show! Thanks Mrs. Mellema!
On May 16 – a special field trip was approved by Mrs. Rossman for year-long choir members. The trip was to WWU to see the “On Ensemble”, a group rooted in a taiko ensemble foundation that uses the Japanese drum blended with acoustic instruments, Tuvan overtone singing, live electronics and a blend of folk, jazz and rock music that draws from the ancient cultures and traditions.
Exciting times last year!!
