In between our morning rehearsal and the evening concert, Nick and Liz hosted the choir for lunch in their new home on the South Shore. There was time to explore outside as well.

In Capella Regalis, a boy’s singing career doesn’t end when his voice changes, and former prefect Luke made his concert debut in the men’s section that night.
Two days later, on November 12, we had our annual Investiture Service. At this service we formally welcomed 5 new boys into the choir: Liam, Riley, Abush, Makye, and North. We also appointed our prefects for the year, Alistair and Phineas; and our Head Boy, Gabe.
Last Sunday, November 25, six of our boys joined Dinuk Wijerante, the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra, The King’s Chorus, and soloists Susan Boddie, Andrew Pickett and Ross Thompson in a sold out performance of Carmina Burana.
