In 1997, Terri and Rick developed a fund-raising project at their
children's school which involved recording each individual classroom
singing Christmas/Holiday songs. The children sang to pre-recorded
music tracks in a "recording studio" which Terri and Rick
created in one of the classrooms. The classroom teachers were each
given a tape of their chosen song about a month in advance of the
recording so that the students could learn their song. The recording
took place over 3 days with each class taking about 30 to 45 minutes
to record their performance. When the recording was completed, the
students held a colouring contest to design a cover and a CD was
manufactured and sold to the school community. The end result was
a lifelong treasure for the families, a learning experience for
the students and a $3000.00 profit for the school.
We are the 21st Century
In the spring of 2000, Terri and Rick fine-tuned their "remote
recording" abilities by completing a Millennium Project for
the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. Each of the 52 school
in the board was challenged to write a school song and Terri and
Rick visited each school to record their efforts. This project,
titled "We are the 21st Century" was completed over a
six week period and received extensive coverage on CBC, CTV and
the national press. It was one of the most unique and ambitious
projects of the Millennium and the finished CD is a great slice
of Canadiana!
Terri and Rick have recorded more than 20 school Christmas / Holiday
CD's, 3 elementary school music program CD's and recently, a full
Secondary School music program including large and small bands and
choirs.
