Toronto Children's Chorus Visits Parmenter School!

What a great opportunity to hear a chorus from another part of the world! This group showed such great singing technique, expression, and poise while singing music from all different parts of the world. Special thanks to Mr. Morris for bringing this wonderful chorus to Parmenter!

Here was their last song from New Zealand called "I Te Timatanga".
