Singing into spring

Submitted by Lars Kaario

The Capilano College Singers

are having a very exciting spring
term. The group was once again
semifinalists in the CBC Radio
Choral Competition and in February
it completed a successful tour of
Campbell River, Courtenay and
Victoria, B.C. On April 13 and 14,
the group joined forces with the
Capilano College Festival Chorus,

From left to right are members of the Capilano College team: Tammy Towill (coach),

soloists, and professional orchestra
to perform Joseph Haydn’s
incomparable Lord Nelson Mass.
The Singers will be travelling from
May 25 to June 7 to Rothenburg,
Heidelberg, Lucerne and Milan.

In Venice and Salzburg they will
be singing in two of the most
internationally sought after venues
—St. Mark’s Basilica and the Dom.

Students win big

The best and the brightest from
British Columbia colleges came
together in Kelowna on March 18
to 20 for the annual B.C. Collegiate
Business Simulation competition,
and once again Capilano College
students were one step ahead

of the pack. “Our simulation team
did extremely well,” said Capilano
College Business instructor
Graham Fane. Graham, who also
acted as team coach along with

instructor Tammy Towill, added:
“This is a tough competition and
the fact that Capilano College
students win year after year says
a lot about their dedication and
skill.” The competition was fierce
and the judging tough, but when
the dust had settled, Capilano
College stood out as a clear leader

in both individual and team awards.
