Hello from Hansel

Hey Everyone. We're on the home stretch now. We're up in Grande Prarie. This is our last out of town stop before the summer! Last week we got the chance to do one of our shows in a real theatre in Lloydminster. Now, as much as we love being in gyms, it was so great to be in a theatre. I personally loved being able to be in Alberta in the morning, Saskatchewan in the afternoon and then back in Alberta in the evening. We went to "Border Bowl" and bowled some games. I won all the games. It was awesome. Talk to you all soon!!! -Jason

Hey there Opera followers!

Hi from Jason

Hey Everyone!We've travelled up north to Peace River Land and we're having a great time. We've had some really great schools. Special shout-out to Worsley and the Wildcats. Thanks for the mugs.Our hotel is pretty awesome. There's free coffee all the time. I've used it so much that the people behind the desk know me and tell me when the fresh coffee will be there. Oh yeah. It's kinda grand.I think that's all. I'm gonna go sit infront of the fireplace in our hotel room (see?

Hi from Erin

Hi from Gretel

Hello dedicated blog followers,We were in Lethbridge and Calgary this week. Alberta is a lot more beautiful now that the weather is nice! We stopped at Head Smashed-In Rock and it was really neat. I now feel like a true Albertan. If you have never been, I strongly recommend going. Fun and educational! Well, that’s all for now.Robyn

Hello from Hansel

Hey everyone. We're still kickin' it Opera Style around Alberta. We've been having such a great time. I wanted to take this blog to send a special shout out to all the schools who have been so nice to send us letters and pictures. Also, we were at St. Gregory and they came up at the end of the show and gave us all mugs!

Second half of the tour!

Hi!I am greatly looking forward to what can only be a very exciting second half of this tour. I know I can speak for the entire cast when I say that we all had a great easter break and are excited for what is to come in the second half of the season. We have been having such a great time visiting all the towns, big and small, that we have been to across Alberta. I can't wait to see how the next few weeks turn out! Crystal

Hi from Matt

Welcome to the BLOG OF WONDERS. Here are ten words that rhyme with blog. Dog, cog, log, frog, clog, bog, fog, hog, smog, jog. My favorite is probably clog. We are in Bonnyville having a bonny good time. Our hotel room has a large TV. Great for watching this on. I'm just on my way to the store to buy some milk. I love milk to so much. I don't know how I would get through this tour without drinking lots of milk. Well, have a great Easter everyone. I know I will.

Hello from Hansel

Hey Everyone! We are continuing to have an amazing time on tour. We are in Calgary all this week and have just left a Rainbow Creek school in Chestemere and they were such a great school. Everyone was singing along to "Smile" at the end of the show and it was awesome! I love when schools sing along with us. We brought a Wii along with us this week to the hotel. We are all very excited to have a Wii tournament. Enjoy the spring weather. -Jason
