Communities from across Canada will join together on "Music Monday" to sing the same song at the same time. It's an effort to promote music education. A special performance is taking place in Charlottetown this afternoon at Trinity United Church. It features a four-hundred voice children's choir representing nine schools, the Montague Senior High School Choir, and the Montague Intermediate School Band. Parts of the performances from each province will  be live-streamed on the web.

This morning 11 students from Stratford Elementary who are in the choir, and we also have Choir director Kelsea MacLean, and one of the event co-ordinators Don Quarles.
