Grade 10-12 Band Trip
Our grade 10-12 students have been invited to perform and compete at MusicFest Canada, the national competition for high school bands. To be invited is a great honour and we are hoping to take a group of students to Niagara Falls to perform in May. Information about that trip can be found HERE. A non-refundable deposit and the permission form need to be returned to me by Nov. 30th. If you would like to pay online please let me know and I will have it added to your school account.
