Cantare Community Choirs at Wesley-Knox
Medallion Ribbon Award Program
In the Cantare Community Choirs at Wesley-Knox, in Luminaria and Mysterium, experienced choristers wear a Chorister Medallion on a ribbon over the stole of their choir gown.
The colour of the ribbon indicates experience and choral achievement
and is awarded at the discretion of the conductor.
Note, that the ultimate ribbon color for each singer does not indicate his or her value as a chorister in the choir.
Also, achievement of the Blue Ribbon will give a child enough ability to enjoy singing in a choir for the rest of his or her life.
