Clue for tomorrow's surprise The color purple.  Who will our visitor be? A prize goes to the first one to guess! Pictures for today Arriving for our second day of Choir Camp! photo by Candace Stevenson Checking in for another big day A special thanks to ALL OUR FABULOUS VOLUNTEERS! These courageous Choir Camp Champs sang the canticle of Daniel at morning praise. Deacon David Olsen led us in prayer this morning.  He told us about how St. Paul compared the Church to a body, where every part is important.  We are the body of Christ! Are you Christ's eyes, to see those who are lonely?  Are you Christ's ears, to hear the voices of those crying out for help?  Are you Christ's feet, to run in the ways of goodness? Practicing for Daniel.  Now you see them, now you don't! Learning Orff instruments with Dr. Savage. Listen in to us practicing by clicking here. Learning about handling and playing handbells with Mr. Kraus. photo by Candace Stevenson Did you ever think you'd be speaking in Latin and medieval French?  Wow! This song from the Play of Daniel combines both languages. Story time with Ms. Pepin. Practicing for Daniel... the Wizards learn to shuffle along together.  Fun! One of our narrators for the Play of Daniel practices speaking loud and clear. The narrations for the Play of Daniel were written by a famous poet, W.H. Auden. Overheard in the Choir Room.  Click here to listen in... "Daniel" sung by St. Gregory and St. Cecilia Choirs "We are Ambassadors" (Mendelssohn) sung by Schola Cantorum. Queen Esther practices her solo.  Definitely a Choir Camp Champ! The King's evil counselors plotting mischief. The Green Team.  You guys demonstrated TERRIFIC TEAMSHIP today. Congratulations, gold medalists!! Running so as to win! photo by Candace Stevenson

Writing thank you notes at the end of the day! Photo by Candace Stevenson

Dear Mr. Kraus,

Thank you for teaching us most of our music.  Your right.  You really have sharp ears. Thanks for everything you do like playing the piano and taking time to teach us :)  I know you've probably heard this before, but you're really good at the piano.  This program wouldn't be the same without you so thanks for all your support! Thank you for making this camp happen.  Every year it gets more fun.  Your organ playing is awesome too.  It's cool how you do a ton of stuff here at the cathedral. Thank you so much for your time here in Schola :]  You do so much for us and we don't really do anything for you.  But I hope you are very proud of our accomplishments at the end of Choir Camp.  Thank you for all you've done. Thank you so much for helping make the St. James Choir Camp possible.  I really like it here and I always look forward to coming every year!  By the way, you play beautifully on the piano and organ! Thank you for helping make Choir Camp possible. Every year I learn new skills and bond with old friends and make new ones. Thank you for playing piano for us.  You make all of us sound better than we already are!

Dear Mrs. Manuel,

Thank you for all of the Olympic and non-Olympic games you set up for us.  They are so much fun!  And it's nice to know that there are games that we are playing that are similar to games athletes do in the Olympics.  I think games from the Olympics is a great idea! Thank you for leading us all in the PE activities.  They were all so much fun.  I especially liked using the jump ropes.  We couldn't have done all this without you. Thank you for the Olympics and all of the other sports activities we died.  I had a lot of fun doing all of the games my favorite was the basketball.  I can't wait to play more games tomorrow! Thank you so much for helping us stay fit and healthy.  I really like the game especially the potato relay!

Dear Mr. Minotti,

Thank you for all you do to make Choir Camp fun and helping with our snacks so we have food to feed our minds so we can sing.  Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Thanks a bunch for helping out with the snacks, and always being so courteous to everyone.  God bless (: Thank you for helping from snacks all up to helping with attendance!  It seems I've seen you every time I've come to choir! Thank you for making us snacks.  It's really good, your also doing a good job signing people in. Thanks for being cool and helping with snacks.  Without you we'd be starving.  Maybe!  You rock!  Thanks for the snacks! Thank you for all of your help with making this camp happen.
