Music Festival

The week of May 9^th was a very busy week for Elm Street students. The East Prince Music Festival was that week and many of our students participated in the festival.

All of our students from Kindergarten to Grade Three participated on May 11. This was an exciting morning and was the culmination of lots of hard work by these students. Each grade level performed two songs and the adjudicator had many fine comments about our students’ performances. It was wonderful to see so many parents in attendance supporting our students. Thank-you to the teachers and parents who assisted them in learning their words to the songs.  Your help was greatly appreciated.

 Both our Primary and Elementary Choirs participated on May 9. They were entered in two classes and performed two songs in each class. The adjudicator was impressed and she commented on their fine musicality. They sang beautifully and were invited to perform at the Stars of the Festival Concert on May 17 which they did splendidly. At this concert our school was presented with the following awards:

The Honorable O.H. Phillips Award for Elementary School Choirs:   presented to our Grade 1 English classes

The Star Construction Award for singing in French as a second language:   presented to our Grade 3 French Immersion classes

The East Prince Music Festival School Choir Award and The Journal Pioneer School Choirs Award:     presented to Elm Street Primary and Elementary Choirs.

Congratulations also to all our Elm Street students who participated in the East Prince Music Festival singing vocal solos, musical theatre solos, and playing piano solos and duets. This takes a lot of commitment and we are very proud of you.

Stars of the Festival

The Primary and Elementary Choirs have been invited to sing the The East Prince Stars of the Festival concert Tuesday, May17th at 6:30. The concert will be held at Trinity United Church here in Summerside. All choirs members are asked to be there at 6:15 dressed in their black and whites. We are the first ones on the program. After we have finished performing the student can leave or stay with their parents and watch the rest of the concert. Can't wait to see everyone there.

Band Concert and Grade Six Band Testing

On June 6th the SIS Band will be presenting a concert for all students at Elm Street. This is always an excellent concert and a wonderful opportunity for our students. It's also great to see former Elm Street studnets performing in the band.

On June 7th at 9:00 Mr. Gallant will be at Elm Street to give grade six students the band test. There are no alternate times for students to take the test so students taking the band test must be in school that morning. These tests also happen for Greenfield, Parkside, and Ecole sur mer students and only the top 60 scores will have places in next years grade seven band.

Next week band test permission forms will be given to all grade six students. These forms must be returned to Ms. Voye by Wed. May 25th. Only students who return the forms will be permitted to take the band test. Practice tests will happen during several music classes prior to Mr. Gallant's test.
