Candlelight Concert Information

Dear families of Crestview Singers,

The St. James-Assiniboia Choral Candlelight Concert takes place at Pantages Playhouse Theatre (Corner of Market and Main) on Monday, November 28, 2016 at 7pm. This is a wonderful opportunity for our choristers to perform in a beautiful venue and on a prestigious stage. This event celebrates the sounds of the season and is sure to bring warmth to all. We will be singing two songs, Minka and Cold Snap.

Please ensure that your child wears black pants, a short sleeve t-shirt and brings some type of footwear, other than winter boots. This is a public performance and the choristers need to look professional. The Crestview Singers’ red t-shirts will be handed out before the performance.

Family and friends are welcome to attend this event. There are two transportation options to this event:

Option 1) Parents/Guardians will transport their child to and from Pantages Theatre. Please arrive between 6:15 and 6:30pm to avoid waiting out in the cold since the theatre does not open its doors to the public until 6:30 pm. A security person will let you and your child in.  Someone will be waiting in the Foyer area by the security door with a large sign direction you to the Green Room where the choir will be warming up. The theatre holds 1200 so don't worry about finding a seat.  Our choristers will sit upstairs in the Balcony, so you do not have to save seats for your child on the main floor. They will be well supervised in the balcony. In regards to parking, there are numerous out door parking lots in the area that require loonies. In addition, the Concert Hall has underground parking.

Option 2) A bus will depart from Crestview at 5;45pm and return at 8:15pm. Parents/Guardians will drop their child off at Crestview at 5:35 to take the school bus with Mrs. Moffatt, Mrs. Stephenson and volunteers. Parents may choose to attend the concert at Pantages Theatre but may not ride the bus unless acting as a volunteer (Criminal Record Check documents must be completed.).

Admission is free however there will be a Silver Collection for local charities during the performance. As well, there will be a silent auction in the lobby courtesy of our Divisional Choirs Executive.

Please fill out the form that was sent home as to whether your child can attend or not and how your child plans on getting to the performance. If your child plans to take the bus from Crestview, please fill out the bus permission form which was also sent home.

We are honored and very excited to have this opportunity to sing at the Candlelight Concert! Please make every effort to have your child be there. We have been working hard on our two songs and need every “team” member!

Forms need to be returned no later than Friday, November 18.

Musically Yours,

Ms. Goertzen
