A Fond Goodbye to our two Grade 12 singers Holly & Mia. Some of the older singers of BC Girls Choir gathered to give Holly and Mia a warm (and tearful!) send-off last week. The physically distanced gathering included a vocal warm-up (of course!), the singing of two favourite pieces that we had not sung since March 14th, giving out our annual ‘Certificates of Commitment to BCGC’, a special scholarship to Holly, and finally the singing of ‘The Parting Glass’ now a tradition at the end of every season: "Since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not, I'll gently rise and I'll softly call - Good night and joy be with you all."
