Inherit the Chinese culture and welcome the New Year to the province. Inherit the Chinese culture and welcome the new year to the province. ——Report on the participation of Alberta Modern Chinese School in the 2018 Alberta School of the Arts Spring Festival Gala (Alberta Modern Chinese School News) Say goodbye to the old year with joy and joy, and happily gather together to celebrate the new year. At the beginning of the new year, our school was invited by the Art Institute of Alberta to participate in the performance of the local Chinese annual Spring Festival Gala. At 7:00 pm on January 6th, the Alberta College of Art Spring Festival Gala kicked off at the Mesa Art Center. The dazzling stage and the unique opening performance made the audience burst into applause! This carnival party held by the Alberta College of Art not only allowed the teachers and students of the college to display their superb skills, but also had the honor to invite the famous Chinese acrobatic art troupe to jointly perform! What made the audience even more excited was that the choir and school band of the Alberta Modern Chinese School also presented programs for the Spring Festival Gala for the first time! After the intermission, when the curtain slowly opened, all members of the choir and school band of the Alberta Modern Chinese School were already standing on the stage in high spirits! What caught the audience's attention were the students who participated in the children's chorus and recitation performances, especially the girls. They were dressed in bright red tops, with two ponytails tied with bright red ribbons, looking extremely festive and auspicious! The opening poem recited "New Year is here, set off firecrackers, the crackling is really lively." The six cute little students had clear and loud voices and fluent standard Mandarin, which highlighted the first-class level that our Chinese school maintains in overseas Chinese education! Then twenty primary school students and the adult choir sang "The North Wind Blows", a song that is a household name among Chinese at home and abroad and one of the top ten classics of Chinese music in the 20th century. The adapted music, under the passionate performance of our school band, the tender and clear children's voices and the clear and elegant throats of the adult chorus responded like a fishing boat singing at night. As the backbone of Chinese community activities in Alberta, Modern Chinese School's participation in this performance not only showcases the results of our Chinese teaching to the entire community, but also helps students deeply understand Chinese culture. At the same time, it also actively promotes traditional Asian culture with other local Chinese groups! Thanks to Chairman Tao Shicheng and Principal Wang Yulan of the Alberta Modern Chinese School for their strong support, as well as Vice Principal Tian Shaowei and Teacher Gao Jingjing of the performance organizing committee for their careful organization! Thanks to Dean Lu Lihua of the Alberta College of the Arts for providing thoughtful services for rehearsals and performances! Thank you to all parents and volunteers for your enthusiastic participation! Thank you to everyone who participated in the reading and choir! Thank you to teacher Cai Shangao and all the band members, as well as our photographer! Send a blessing and a greeting! I wish our Chinese school and Chinese community another prosperous year!
