Congratulations to all of the band and strings students who participated in the concert last evening. It was a great show and everyone should be very proud of their performances.

All regular extra-curricular band rehearsals (7, 8, 9, Jazz) are now finished for this term and will begin again following the Christmas break.  Rehearsals will, however, be scheduled this week and next week for grade 9 Honours Band students.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the music students last night!
