It's 8:15 am on Monday, November 7, 2011.

The first piece is hauled onto the stage.

The first level is done.

Now the second level.

And the third.

And the last piece...

... is the toughest.

Break time!

Now the greenery goes on.

One railing goes up.

And then the second.

It's starting to look like a tree!

It's 2:00pm. Almost six hours later! Well done, guys!

Ever wonder how the Singing Christmas Tree is constructed? Scroll through the slides to see how it’s done.

Thank you, Elizabeth Carty, for taking pictures approximately every 30 minutes!

Thanks to all of the volunteers who worked so hard getting the tree built. As you can see, the tree is like a big puzzle. Pieces are put together one at at time and eventually the tree comes alive with colour and lights. We’re one step closer!!! Christmas is just around the corner!

As you can see, the rehearsals are actively happening throughout the week. This is a glimpse of one of our ensemble groups practicing together on a Saturday morning. Singing Christmas Carols in October may be odd for some people but not for us!!!
