Last evening the Elementary Mass Choir performed once again at the College of the Rockies. This beautiful start to the Christmas season has been happening for over thirty years since the late Roy Barnett introduced the tradition. As always Elsie Barnett, Roy's wife was at the door collecting donations for the Salvation Army and several retired teachers come out to help with the organisation. Cranbrook's music teachers take turns in conducting the children from all Elementary Schools in Cranbrook. This extremely popular event always overflows with children, their parents , friends and grandparents. It is a major feat of organisation for all the choirs learn their parts individually and only come together for a single rehearsal.
Thank you to all those who continue to coordinate and volunteer for this Cranbrook tradition.
