Looking Ahead to 2010

Here are some of our exciting upcoming events: 

1. February Band Day
In February, on the last day of exams, Feb.2, we will be hosting students from Northlea for a band workshop day with expert clinicians. Students will benefit greatly from this day, so we hope you will support their participation and help them get to school on that day!

2. Ontario Band Festival 
In mid-February, the Leaside Band will be performing again in the Ontario Concert Band Festival in Markham. Last year at this event we earned a "Silver Plus" rating, and this year will be striving for the gold! Parents will be welcome on the trip for supervision help and also are welcome to come a watch the performance - we perform at 4:20 at Le Parc Banquet Hall, Leslie/Hwy 7, in Markham.

3. Massey Hall, Sounds of Toronto, April  15
On Thursday April 15, members of the Semester 2 Vocal Class and 10 selected Concert Band students will be performing in the 60th annual "Sounds of Toronto" concert, presented by the Toronto Secondary School Music Teachers' Association. Please mark your calendars now and plan to attend this event - for only $10 you will see choirs, bands, strings, steel pans, drumlines and much more from across the TDSB, including Leaside students.
