||| FROM SHARON HO for ORCAS MUSIC ADVOCACY GROUP |||
If you have an elementary-age child who likes to sing and loves to sing along with favorite songs, the Kids’ Chorus is for them! They will have fun singing popular favorites and some traditional songs, as well as learning new songs and even writing songs.
The Funhouse Commons, Orcas Island Music Advocacy Group and Orcas Choral Society are collaborating to continue the Orcas Youth Chorus program this fall, starting with an elementary Kids’ Chorus for grades 1-5 (ages 6 through 11). Children from all Orcas schools including home schools are welcome in the Kids’ Chorus.
The chorus will be taught by Mary Wachter, a well-known local teacher and musician who is also the Music Facilitator for Funhouse Commons, and will meet at the Funhouse on Fridays from 3:30-4:30 pm, Oct. 25 to Dec. 20. Funhouse staff will collect participants from the public and Christian schools with the Afterschool Program groups and head to the Funhouse.
The cost is $50 for the 8 classes (no class Nov. 29), with registration at https://www.funhousecommons.org/registration-kidschorus
The Funhouse Commons, Orcas Choral Society, and the Music Advocacy Group plan to co-sponsor the older Orcas Youth Chorus program for 6th-12th grades starting in January 2025.
