The year end approaches and our junior choir is working to prepare and polish the music for our final concert. On May 1st we sang our last Psalm in Mass for the year; these Psalms have been increasing in complexity up to three-part harmony. Through this ministry, our main offering at the monthly Mass, we have memorized a significant number of verses of Scripture!
Soon we will bid farewell to our Grade 6 singers as they will graduate into the Senior Choir after summer; the current Grade 5s will begin in September as the most experienced singers leading our sound, and a new group of 3rd-graders will join us. The Junior Choir is always working to build competent, independent singers with the skills to read new music and confidently hold their parts; this is key to the success of our Senior Choir also as they prepare advanced music in four parts or more. Thank you, families, for your support of our young musicians every year in this busy program. Mr. McCune
