Talent Show Update
Recording continued this week for the Talent Show! Thank you to all families that returned the form for talent show participation on time. Students will receive a slip for their agenda with their expected audition date. Please support your students in practicing so that they are ready, and bring everything they need on their audition date. If recording is ahead of schedule, students may be given the option to audition early or to keep their original date. If singing or dancing, please include the name of the song on the form so that a backing track can be sourced before the audition. If playing the piano, please bring the sheet music to school if possible so that a photocopy can be made.
Please email Mr. G. (adgoodridge@educbe.ca) with any backing tracks, sheet music, or questions.
