Video Tape of the Concert needed
Something went wrong when the stage crew video taped the concert and we only have the last Elementary Choir piece (Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights and the first two Gurrie Choir pieces (Carol of the Bells and A Holly Jolly Christmas) on the school video tape. If you have the entire concert or all of the Elementary Choir and/or Gurrie Choir, please make a copy and give it to Mrs. Kay so that the choirs can see their entire performance. Also, if you have any photos of the concert or choir members at the concert, we would love to have copies of those too.

Thank you!

Directions to Listen to Choir Pieces on the Internet

To help you practice at home you may listen to any of our choir pieces by doing the following:

  1. go to www.jwpepper.com  and look for “keywords” near the top left hand corner of the website. Its right underneath the big “J.W. Pepper”.
  2. Type in the title of the song and the name of the composer and press “Enter”.
  3. You’ll see the song title come up with a picture of the front cover of the music. Underneath that there is a line with Qty, Number, and Description. Look under the word “Description”. You’ll see a list of arrangements such as SATB, SSA, Two-Part etc. If there’s more than one arrangement, try to find the correct arrangement and listen to that recording (in most cases it will be Two-part). Click on the “MP3 Audio” to listen to the song.
