The Linwood Intermediate Choir is off to a wonderful start! We are thrilled that 43 choir members were at rehearsal today! The choir is already sounding wonderful and our members are eagerly learning a very special song that they will sing at our Remembrance Day service on November 10th called, A Better World. For choir members who would like to listen to this song at home and practice their part please click on the following link: A Better World Look for the music notes and click on that. A small window will open and play the recording that we have been listening to in our rehearsals! See you at our next rehearsal: October 15th at 12:15!
Students in Grades 4 & 5 were treated to a special visit today from the George Waters Show Band under the direction of Mr. Johnson. The Grade 6 students (including three alumni from Linwood - Tye, Tyler, and Helena) impressed us with their abilities on their instruments that they have only been playing since September! Mr. Johnson reminded our Grade 5 students that it's not too late to change their minds if they would like to try out a band program next year! Please see Mrs. Wurch if you would like any further information about middle years band programs!
Music Monday is coming on Monday, May 4th! This year we are learning a new song written by a 16 year old Canadian student (Connor Ross) to celebrate music education called We are One. Linwood students are enthusiastically learning this song and many have requested the link so that they can share the song with their families at home!
Auditions for the Divisional Musical Theatre production of Disney's Lion King Jr. will run from April 30th - May 8th.

The Linwood Intermediate Choir performed at the Winnipeg Music Festival at the Westminster United Church. Their beautiful performance earned them a silver standing! The choir has worked very hard over the last two months learning these new songs and very successfully sang them in 2-parts! Great job Choir! It's such a joy to create beautiful music with you!
