The Chamber Choir, led by Mrs. Konjhodzic, rehearsed Thursdays after school and performed for school events and outside school occasions. "The chamber choir has worked very hard this year in order to prepare for the various performances." We have had the good fortune to be graced with the presence of Ms. Jammeson, and various musicians who
helped us improve during our rehearsals. Mr. Reinkeleurs and Mr. Nazarian was also kind enough to accompany us.
On February 15, the Chamber Choir of John G. Althouse competed at the annual Kiwanis Music Festival and received a score of 88% from the adjudicators. It was an amazing experience to listen to the various outstanding choirs across the city, and to the adjudications given in order perfect our tuning, pitch, dynamics and performance skills, which got us ready for our next performance on an April night.
At 7:30p.m. Tuesday, April 19th, 2005, the Chamber Choir seated themselves at George Weston Recital Hall, also known as Toronto Centre for the Arts, for a performance after the intermission. We were delighted to receive the invitation to participate in the third annual TDSB Showcase Concert Series performance. Thrilled to be the audience to many astonishing performances which included various ensembles and vocal groups, we watched in sheer wonder as the performance went on through the delightful spring evening. The steel bands and the short musical didn't fail to amaze. The Chamber Choir performed the
angelical Panis Angelicus and the jolly Apple Tree Wassial with real enthusiasm which raised the spirits of the entire recital hall. A delightful musical put on by a group of excited elementary students drew the full-stop to the evening's performance.
I would like to thank Ms. Konjhodzic for her time and effort, Mr. Reinkeleurs and Mr. Nazarian for their accompaniment which contributed to our successes. Hear it!
Dorcy C.and that was what i did for the school newsletter. horribly cheesy, but it'll have to suffice. the point is we went to the recital hall that tuesday night and we had quite the experience, not performance related.
its quite funny what ppl do at a concert actually. there were a row of high school ppl behind us who had performed first. it appeared to be a very ethnic school. mostly blacks. (no racism intended). there was this particular one girl who had her feet and me and sharon's chair. her BARE feet no less. quite the manners, non? they were also talking in a particularly loud voice, one that im quite positive could be heard from a mile away.
then sometime later, they started kickin me and lex' chair. we assumed it'll stop eventually, but time proved us wrong. the kicking went on for quite sometime even after lex told them politely to stop kicking our chairs and i quote, "Can you stop kicking our chairs please?" in a very nice manner, nicely toned and what not. instead, the girl behind us looked at her friends and just kept on kicking our chairs!! lex tried again moments later and this was the responce, "O, look, she thinks she can tell us what to do just because she's white."
i am like... "?!?!" we didn't say anything. but after every single performance, the row behind us would attempt to bust our eardrums with their piercing screams. it was as if they are determined to prove that they have the better vocal chords than the choir. we were forced to clog our ears, and all that made them do is scream louder. i had wanted lex to scream to prove to them that lex can scream a bagillion times louder than they ever can. but lex said and i agree with her that would mean degrading her to their level. i mean listen to the stuff they were saying:
"she thinks shes all that just because shes white."
"o look her, giving us the face, her white lil face."
"Scream, lil girl, lil white girl, scream!!"
"look at their miniskirts... what preps."
i mean seriously, every single statement is injected with racism toward the whites. we said NOTHING that would provoke ppl of their colour and yet, they choose to insult lex...
