Bloemfontein Children's Choir presents: LEGEND GRADUATION!!!

 This years' farewell ceremony was really amazing. The new committee of 2009 transformed our boring and dull looking choir rehearsal room into something spectacular. Our theme was Legend Graduation and we tried our best to let the place look like a graduation ceremony.We said farewell to 4 of our beloved choir members, wich was a very emotional thing for us. The new food committee was revealed as well as the headgirl, headboy, vice headgirl and vice headboy.

FAREWELL OUR FRIENDS UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

Interesting Bits and Pieces!

Sample Image Boet Troskie, our Patron, received a doctoral award in 2007 at the Central University of Technology.  The Bloemfontein Children's choir is very proud of him!  To show this and to acknowledge him as our Patron, the choir comitee paid him a special visit.  To express our thanks they sang a most touching song: Irish Blessing.  They also gave him a handmade card to congratulate him on this big achievement.

Skouspel 2005 

The Bloemfonteun Children's Choir went on tour to Skouspel 2005. The event was in Sun City at the superbowl the superbowl is HUGE ! It can take about 6000 people and it was full at all four shows! We really enjoyed the valley of the waves and the lazy river. We stayed at a youth hostel and had loads of fun! We performed with famous South-African artists like Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Dozi, Christina Azavedo, Koos kombuis etc. I really Hope we get a chance to perform there again!

This year we got an Invatation to go to the ABSA KKNK, a national arts festival in Oudtshoorn, South Africa. We had three performances each on a seperate day. We stayed in "Die Herberg" youth hostel. We had loads of shopping time and we all bought very interesting stuff at the hundreds of different stalls. We also watched two shows, Gatiepie en die vroue Spooke and André the hypnotist.   We had much fun watching all those people  get hypnotised!  It was a real privilage to perform on one our countrie's own art festivals.
