Middle, the Concert Band. The Concert Band received a silver plus and the strings a gold. They have been invited to play at the National competition for Musicfest Canada in 2013 in Toronto.
The students received full marks for their attitude, concentration and discipline on stage as well as many excellent comments about their music. 50 students are involved in music — 40 in the concert band and 10 in the string ensemble.
Congratulations!
