Kids of Note integrated choir
Kids of Note’s 14th season of great music and entertaining performances will begin September 5. The choristers, ages 7 to 16, present Christmas and Spring concerts annually to full houses at Grosvenor Park United Church, which has partnered with Kids of Note to make this terrific community program possible. Kids of Note has room for only three more young people, so register now!
The Notations (ages 16 to 30) are also looking for new members before the kick-off of its 10th season. Sharing concerts with Kids of Note, The Notations provides a unique performing and social experience where young adults with a range of abilities have a great time singing together – usually pop, jazz or rock music. The Notations would especially welcome a few more singers who are “typical” and who enjoy entertaining a big crowd.
Kids of Note and The Notations eare aimed at children and young adults, with and without disabilities, )who love to sing. There are no audi-tions. Practising at home is a necesnsity with the aid of CDS provided by -the program.
