Before I was in Kindergarten my mom gave me the chores of feeding the baby calves on our Dairy farm. I remember some things like giving them hay, making sure they had fresh straw and filling up there water buckets. But one clear memory I have is Grandpa Wiebe asking me every time we visited, "How are the black and whites," because that was our code name for the calves. Now i thought that would have worn off after we moved from the Dairy 15 years ago but to this day he still asks how are the Black and Whites.
It would have been so appropriate to have Grandpa Wiebe at Nipawin Bible Colleges Cantata this Christmas. As the singers walked on the stage in their black pants and white shirts starring at the conductor waiting for the music to cue. It was almost like a bunch of calves waiting to get fed.
The theme for Cantata was, "Peace on Earth," and what a message for all who participated and came to watch. Mark Koop the conductor did an amazing job preparing the singers, working with the soloist, checking the sound and dealing with all the small details.
Over three hundred people came to watch and hear the choir sing. It was a great opportunity for those students that love to sing. Lots were able to perform solos, play in the band and harmonize with 27 other singers.
Grandpa the black and whites were very good.
