1. Thanks to all families for bringing delicious potluck food and drinks. Special gratitude to the wonderful parents help with potluck set up and clean up, and to Sonja and Olin Palmer for their help in organizing this annual event. A great chance to Intermediate and Vocalise/Ensemble choirs to meet each other and to work together in preparation for the Spring Concert!
2. Wednesday, March 19th – Rehearsal will be in an alternate location at Pinewood School, Middle Campus, 327 Fremont Ave, Los Altos.
ROOM: Theater (this building is toward the south side of campus, as you are facing the school.) Adults will be there to assist singers in finding the Theater.
DIRECTIONS: From Foothills Congregational Church, head south on Foothill Expressway (towards El Monte) Turn left onto El Monte Rd. Turn right onto Covington. (Covington turns into Fremont Ave) Pinewood School will be on your left side. The sign is small – be looking for a large white building – it looks like a house! Parking is limited, so please plan to drop off or carpool if possible.
Please note:
Last spring we had a problem with students playing on the playground equipment at Pinewood. The school is respectfully asking us to keep our Cantabile kids off the equipment due to liability issues. We thank you for your cooperation, and appreciate Mr. Troll allowing us to use the facility for this week.
