What a wonderful experience it was for the students and both Mme Arts and Mme Robertson at the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival last week! Our choir sang beautifully, and received some excellent feedback from adjudicator Dr. Adam Con. The students represented Poirier well, and everyone had fun, too! We got to celebrate an incredible year of singing together with ice cream and popsicles outside… right before it started to rain 🙂
Thanks to all the parents who helped out on the trip, and to those came to support us in the audience.
I was notified by the Festival after the choral section ended on Wednesday that Poirier has been chosen to receive the Adjudicator’s Choice J. Phillip Fawcett Spirit Award for their performance at the festival!! Wow, such an incredible honour, and well-deserved by this dedicated group of young musicians.
Mme Robertson and I will be attending an honour concert this week to receive the award on the choir’s behalf, and it will be presented to the choir, along with certificates for each member, at our Music Monday Assembly on Monday, May 4th at 9:30 am. Families and friends are invited, and will be treated to a performance by the Sooke Philharmonic String Quartet, who will be joining us for this nationwide celebration of Music.
