Rock'n'Rainbow Announces Halloween Extravaganza! After a summer of writing, rehearsing and recording (the 3 R's of music!), Rock'n'Rainbow will again be ready to hit the stage for their annual Halloween Extravaganza. On Saturday October 26th, Rock'n'Rainbow will bring their colourful selves and performances to the Lula Lounge (1585 Dundas St. W.) for a late morning spooky-scary show. Composed of Lady Red, Blue Elvis, Purple Stardust, Agent Orange and Mellow Yellow, Rock'n'Rainbow delivers a highly entertaining and interactive rock show for kids that will also rock the socks off the older members of your family too. As with all past Halloween shows, nothing makes the band happier than to see everyone in their fantastic Halloween costumes. Tickets are now available for sale through our Rainbow Songs Shop, which you can find at: http://rainbowsongs.com/tickets Rock'n'Rainbow's Halloween show is the most popular of the year and sells out very quickly, so we recommend getting your tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. If you want to be the first to find out about all of our upcoming shows, just head over www.facebook.com/RocknRainbow and "Like" us!

Fall Registration - Now Open Our Fall 2013 session schedule is now on our website with registration open through our online enrollment system. With Fall being our busiest session of the year, classes fill up very quickly, so book early to avoid disappointment! Current enrollment in a class does not automatically guarantee your spot in the next session, so please ensure you register well in advance to reserve your space. Keep an eye out for your automated enrollment confirmation e-mail, as that lets you know that your registration has been fully completed.

New Locations We are happy to announce a slew of new locations and new classes, which will be available beginning in our Fall 2013 session. As we are always striving to meet the needs of our current and future Rainbow Songs families, we work hard at finding the best possible locations in our in-demand communities. New locations in Fall 2013: -Mimico: Mimico Presbyterian Church, 119 Mimico Ave. -North York Centre: St. George's Anglican Church, 5350 Yonge St. -Yonge & Briar Hill: St. Clement's Church, 70 St. Clement's Ave. -Bathurst & Eglinton: Holy Blossom Temple, 1950 Bathurst St.

Reminder About Make-up Classes This Summer With the summer months bringing vacations and weekends away, you may find yourself having to make-up some missed classes this session. We wanted to remind you that make-up spots are subject to availability and spaces are limited, so we highly recommend booking your make-up class(es) as early in the session as possible. Waiting until the final few weeks will often result in few and limited options available to you. As make-up spots cannot be carried over to a future session, classes missed in the summer must be made up in the current session.

Also, due to the demand of the neighbourhood, we will be adding Wednesday classes at our Trinity-Bellwoods location!! Keep your eyes open for these new locations and classes in Fall 2013!! Page 24

Newsletter 42 How you feeling? (Hot hot hot) How you feeling? (Hot hot hot) Jamaica Farewell Lord Burgess Cherry Lane Music Publishing Co. Down the way where the nights are gay And the sun shines brightly on the mountaintops. I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop.

Chorus: But I'm sad to say; I'm on my way. I won't be back for many a day. My heart is down my head turning aroun' I had to leave my little girl in Kingston town. Sounds of laughter everywhere. And the dancers swinging to and fro. I must declare that my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.

Chorus Down in the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Aki rice salt fish are nice And the rum is fine any time of year.
