So here we are on the last half-day before Christmas break, and a lot has happened...
Thank you to all the parents, friends, and supporters who came to the Christmas Dinner and the Band/Choir Christmas Concert on Wednesday night. Students, great job at both - keep up the good work! KSTP Channel 5 taped portions of the concert and may include some of that footage in their "collage" of local concerts on Christmas morning from 5-7am (you might wanna tape it and look for yourself later...)
There are some exciting new things happening in the "choir universe" at CDH next year so stay tuned...
Until then have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome Junior High Singers!
Everyone here at Cretin-Derham Hall is very excited about the new All-Catholic-Schools Junior High Choirs!
These two brand new choral groups are just for YOU - 7th and 8th graders at Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis. Each choir is a chance for you to get together with students your age from other schools, sing some great music, and have a great time. We hope you will come join us for this exciting new program. Here's how it works...
Rehearsals are Saturday mornings - girls at 9:00 and boys at 9:50 yes that's kinda early, but what else are you gonna do? What cartoons like a little kid?
We'll rehearse 8 or so times and then give a quick concert to show off what you learned.
Why are girls and boys separated? To give you the chance to be yourselves! You can sing music especially designed for you - your voices, your abilities, and your PERSONALITIES...
Do you have to be a "good" singer? Heck no! If you like to sing, or think you might like to give it a try come on over - everyone is welcome so long as you're there to make the group as good as it can be. We want good team players.
Now some details for your parents...
Rehearsals will be with Chris Jacobson, Director of Vocal Music at Cretin-Derham Hall. Mr. Jacobson has been teaching choir, voice, and other music classes at schools in the Twin Cities and the Rochester area for 5 years.
Rehearsals are held in the CDH choir room: girls from 9:00-9:45 and boys from 9:50-10:35. To get to rehearsals go to the Cretin-Derham Hall campus at the corner of Randolph and Hamline Avenues in St. Paul. Use the door off the semi-circular driveway off Hamline Avenue just south of the CDH baseball field.
All music and expenses are covered by Cretin-Derham Hall, this experience is FREE for your child.
Rehearsals will be each Saturday from January 12 to March 1. There will be no rehearsal on Saturday, February 16 due to the Presidents Day Weekend holiday. If your child needs to miss some rehearsals that's easily workable and NOT a reason for them to miss out on this experience.
We'll conclude with a concert featuring the two choirs in the Cretin-Derham Hall Lillian Theater on Saturday, March 1 at 11:30.
If you would like to register your child either ask your school's music teacher for a registration form or email cjacobson@c-dh.org

Christmas Concert
Hello all, just a reminder about the Christmas Concert next Wednesday, December 19 at 7:00 in the CDH Fieldhouse.
The concert is shared with the bands so the groups performing will be the Jazz Band, Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, Collegium Sine Nomine, and Select Treble Choir. Most of the choirs' music will be different from what was performed at the Christmas Dinner on the 2nd - so come and enjoy a late Advent evening of fun music.
Call time for the choirs will be 6:30 in the choir room.
