Happy Remembrance Day!

A random picture of soldiers in World War II (I found this on the internet)

Happy Remembrance Day to Everyone!!! I had a great time performing for the entire school. The number of students that were staring at us were about 700 people and I never missed a note, squeaked or paused!!! The five songs we played for the concert was O Canada, Aura Lee, Chorale 87, Chorale 156 and Glorious Things. To me, I think that O Canada is the hardiest for me to play since some of the notes were very high but they gave us a easier option. Whenever I play very high notes, I squeak or can't make a sound and only air comes out.


The Poppy we had to wear above our heart.

Remembrance Day!!!

On November 11, it will be remembrance day. The main meaning of this day is to remember the soldier that fought and died during World War II. The wind ensemble will be practicing for two days this week and we will be playing a couple of songs. One of the songs I definitely know we will be playing is Ode to Joy and Aura Lee.

On Sunday, we had to do our Daylight Saving. Our time in Canada is an hour slower than yours in Hong Kong so make sure you calculate what time it is for us!!! DON'T CALL US DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT... we will not pick it up!!! HAHA!!! :D

Finally...

Tomorrow is the workshop and I can not wait!!!! There will be a professor from the University of Toronto of the Faculty of Music and two other high school music teachers. They will be teaching us along with grade 10's and university students. At night, we will be performing 3 songs: Aura Lee, Chorale and Rock Point 5 (my favorite song). SO EXCITED about tomorrow!!!

Week FILLED WITH FUN!!!

I can't wait because this week will be filled with fun. On Wednesday at school, we will be having a Junior Achievement program in which two people come and talk to us about business and life. I hope that it will be exciting because last year, I remembered that we got a certifcate afterwards with our names on it. On Thursday after lunch, an author: Marina Cohen will be coming to our school and talking to us about her experience in writing stories. Also, we will be having a band practice before school on Thursday. Lastly, on Friday we will be having a band workshop and also a concert at night. It will be so exciting.

GUESS WHAT IS SATURDAY???? It is HALLOWEEN!!! I can't wait until the Halloween Party because I will be dressing up. I will take a picture and post what my costume is.... it will be a secret!!!!

Art

Look at my beautiful piece of art. The first picture is the sample I have to look at and try to copy it onto the second one.

2 HOURS OF MUSIC!!! YIPEEE :D

Tommorrow is the first band practice I have and it is at 7:30am. I hope that I will be able to wake up on time to go because the band conducter doesn't like us being late. Also, after band practice, the first subject I will be having is music so YAY ME, I will be getting 2 hours of band practice.

Sorry for the typos in the earlier post, Florence you are correct it is suppose to be Montreal and Ottawa. But I don't know which part of Montreal we are going to go to but all I know is that we will be going to museums, the parliament hill and some other places.

YIPEE!!!

Hooray!!! Option 2 has won which means that we will be going to Ottawa and Quebec for 4 days 3 nights. Also, all of my friends will be going and I hope that we will be able to share a room... IT WILL BE SO COOL!!!
