Barrie Youth Honour Choir to ‘hit the high notes’ at performance on Nov. 20
On Wednesday, Nov. 20, students from nine elementary schools will perform as part of the newly formed Barrie Youth Honour Choir, along with the choirs of Bear Creek SS and Eastview SS. The choirs will perform three shows – two for Grade 8 students from the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) and one for family, friends, and community members. Members of the SCDSB community are invited to enjoy the concert at 7 p.m. at the Collier Street United Church.
The Barrie Youth Honour Choir was formed under the direction of Rachael Clark, choral director at Bear Creek SS, and Dave Stewart, choral director at Eastview SS. The choir consists of about 35 Grade 6 to 8 students from Codrington PS, East Oro PS, Ernest Cumberland ES, Guthrie PS, Holly Meadows ES, Shanty Bay PS, Terry Fox ES, Trillium Woods ES, and W.C. Little ES.
In mid-November, the members of the Barrie Youth Honour Choir will participate in a vocal music retreat to get to know each other, rehearse choral music, and prepare for the concert.
Tickets for the evening performance will be available at the door for $10 each. The Collier Street United Church is located at 112 Collier St. in Barrie.
Media is invited to attend on Nov. 20 at 2 p.m.
This initiative links directly to the SCDSB Strategic Priorities in the areas of Community and Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
