Message from Ms. Sunde
Hot
diggity dog! I can't believe how much we've done in four short days!
It will be great to be able to share some of the music we've learned with
parents and friends tomorrow at our Musicale at 1:00pm in the Cathedral.
And Camp isn't over yet - we still get to sing at the 10:00am Mass this Sunday
for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Get some sleep and see you
tomorrow!
Ta da! Ms. Sunde

Thursday begins with a "round" of Tallis' Canon.
(A Tallis Cannon)
Campers are recognized for being great leaders, for helping others, and much
more.
In the Chapel at morning praise, two young soloists sing the Psalm.
Our able accompanist, Mr. Thomas Varas.
Ms. Oesterle leads us in morning praise today. She invited us to reflect
on the wonderful description of heaven in the Letter to the Hebrews, when we
will join not only God, his son Jesus, Mary, and all the saints, but also all
the ranks of angels. Can you name the nine ranks?
Trumpet lessons with Mr. Newhall.
Keyboarding lessons with Dr. Kraus and Mr. Varas are a lot of fun!
In the choir room, doing "sectionals" with Ms. Sunde.
We can't wait to hear you play Orff in concert! All are invited to a Choir Camp
Musicale Friday, August 13, at 1:00pm in the Cathedral!
