Blueridge Elementary School Choir (2001 - 2003)

The Blueridge Elementary School Choir is privileged to once again be part of The Magic of Christmas."   In addition to   The Magic of Christmas, the choir has been involved in a number of other exciting events over the past years, including the Mad About Mozart series hosted by the Vancouver Symphony, and the Opening Ceremonies for the B.C. Winter Games, the Carl Orff Canada National Conference and the Vancouver Dragon Boat Festival.   Participation in the Blueridge Choir is voluntary, and the choir owes its success to the enthusiasm, dedication and talents of the 150 grade 4 - 7 students who willingly devote their time and energy to this group.   The Blueridge Elementary School choir hopes that you enjoy tonight's performance and wishes you and your families all the best at Christmas and throughout the year.

Michele Denny has been the music specialist and choir director at Blueridge Elementary for 11 years.   The Blueridge music program incorporates voice, movement, drama and instrumentation to introduce children to the whole spectrum of music education.   Michele is past president of the North Vancouver Music Educators Association and served as a member of the North Vancouver School District Fine Arts Leadership Team.   She would like to thank Joanne Mauro for her constant support as Choir Assistant, Arlie Thompson, her Principal and Accompanist and all her colleagues at Blueridge without whom a performance such as this would not be possible.
