CHORAL PROGRAM
The choir program at Leila North is available to all students, regardless of experience or ability. Choir runs once a cycle during the timetable. The students learn to read music notes and symbols, identify different styles and cultures, and experience the joy and teamwork of working in a large musical ensemble. Two concerts, the Remembrance Day Assembly, Music Monday, and grade 8 Farewell are just a few of the performance opportunities for choir.
MUSICAL THEATRE
Each year, Ecole Leila North stages a musical production. This production involves over 100 students and staff working tirelessly on music, acting, sets, props, costumes, and more. Past hits have included “ANNIE”, “OLIVER”, “INTO THE WOODS”, “CASTING CALL”, “THE WIZARD OF OZ”, and “SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL” Stay tuned for our 2010 production of “GUYS AND DOLLS”.
JAZZ CHOIR
Leila North has three jazz choirs, one for each grade level. The jazz choirs meet after school and at lunch during the school year. The jazz choir learns a varied repertoire of music ranging from jazz standards to popular music. The students learn to sing in 2 and 3 parts and explore arrangement techniques for popular music. The jazz choirs sing at the Forks, the Airport, and the Brandon Jazz Festival each year.
