Volume 107 No. 42
North Battleford, Sask.
Tuesday, June 2, 2015
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Like Mary Poppins, the members of the Battlefords Children’s Choirs believe anything can happen if you let it. Wednesday and Thursday at the Dekker Centre, the iconic music of Mary Poppins was shared with full-house audiences to resounding applause. Dianne Gryba and JoAnne Kasper say, “As directors of the show, we have been swept into Mary’s magical world ... The children of the Battlefords Children’s Choirs have made that world come alive with their enthusiasm and dedication, and with their beautiful singing.” Imaginative staging and choreography added to the entertainment. “As always, the children in our choirs have inspired us with their ability and willingness to learn,” say Gryba and Kasper.
