April 28 Recording Session

Our Next Recording Session is April 28, 2021

Just like last time, students are expected to be at the recording session on April 28, 2021 after school.  The schedule below is for students to use to determine when they should arrive and depart the building (Mrs. Deklerk will be helping with supervision of students who are waiting for their turn to record).

CONCERT UNIFORM

Every student is expected to have;

• Black pants (not tights, sweats, jeans, or skirts).
• Black socks
• Black shoes
• A white shirt with no logos or images on it (t-shirts are okay)

Mr. Windsor will provide an NDC Music Jacket to wear over the white shirt.  The black dress clothes on the bottom half are very important, and runners, any white lines or colours will most definitely detract from the performance.   Please ensure your students have these clothes for Wednesday's recordings.

What if my child is self-isolating?

If your student is self-isolating, they are still expected to participate.  They can do so by recording a video of themselves playing their part by the end of April 28, 2021.  The steps for doing so will be as follows;

• Set up a video camera with a neutral background.
• Wear as much of the uniform as you can (white dress shirt if no jacket is available).
• Set up your headphones to be able to listen to the mp3 recordings.
• Record a video of you playing along with the music in your headphones.
• Email the video to jwindsor@redeemer.ab.ca.

They may appear as a floating head on the video, but Mr. Windsor can still attach their sound and face so that they remain a member of the band, as they deserve to be.

CONCERT DATE: May 1, 2021

The concert will be shown on Facebook and YouTube on May 1, 2021 at 7:00 PM.  You will be able to attend and watch it from wherever you are.  We found people enjoyed it most when they were able to watch it on a YouTube app on their TVs, but it will be available wherever you are!

It will also only be aired Live once.  This time the video will not be available again as "video on demand" until toward the end of the school year, so there is only once chance to watch it!

Share the event with your family and friends from across the globe!  You can send them the Facebook link at https://www.facebook.com/NDCFineArts or the YouTube link using https://bit.ly/ndcyoutube.

AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Great music has no expiry.  Your students have been able to make great music these past few months.  We can't wait to share it with you!
