Choir Report Every Wednesday at three o ' clock, seventy girls converge on the Music Room to create ninety minutes of heavenly sounds. Sometimes, despite our good intentions, our ambitions are thwarted. But often, to our immense satisfaction, we mal e beautiful music. This year the choir has undertaken many more engagements than in previous years. In September, v ' e began preparing not only for the traditional Carol Service but also for an October service at St. Andrew ' s United Church. Our singing at St. Andrew ' s was very well received. Our cheerful performance at the Carol Service succeeded in reaffirming the great pride that Branksome has in its choir. The Christmas season was made doubly exciting for us when we repeated this performance at the Toronto Dominion Centre. This term we are preparing for a particularly active spring season. We have started to practice a wide selection of music for the Annual Spring Concert on April the twenty-eighth. From the choir a small group has been invited to sing at the Alumnae Dinner early in May. We also have a very exciting engagement May the twenty-sixth. We will be giving a demonstration of choral singing at York University at the meeting of the Ontario Choral Federation. Once again, Mrs. Coutts, with her unfailing enthusiasm, has been a special inspiration to us. We also must thank Mrs. Cook who holds the key for our singing. I would also like to thank Nancy, Heather and the rest of the executive for all their help. Sara Edmonds The Junior Choir- Thanks for a great year, girls, and I ' m sure many of you will enjoy the Senior Choir in future years. I hope next year ' s choir does as well as we have Karen
