4. Maddy has also come up with a project for Canada Day that you might want to participate in:   

We are looking for people to provide clips of their singing for a Canada Day Anthem mashup. Details below: 
 
Canada Day Anthem Mashup

Lend us your voice! As we continue to practice physical distancing, we thought it would be fun for the families and individuals in the community to record themselves singing the Canadian Anthem so that we may create a "Community Anthem" by overlapping the recordings. The final product will be played on Canada Day!

To participate click on the YouTube link (this is your blueprint!) https://www.youtube.com/watch…, record yourself and/or your family with a smartphone. When you are satisfied with your recording, send us the audio file vlafontaine@pemberton.ca. Try to limit the background noise and have fun!

RECAP
1. Record yourself and/or your family singing the anthem (using the YouTube link as a reference).
2. Send us your audio file.
3. We will create a mashup with the recordings we receive.
