Check out what we have been doing!
1. Performances on Nov. 11 and Nov. 26
On Remembrance Day, the Leaside Concert Band performed along with Grade 10 Drama students, in the school's second annual Remembrance Day Assembly. The students displayed excellent professionalism and conduct, and played beautifully. We received many compliments on their sensitive, thoughtful playing. A final note of congratulations to Robert Fraser Burke, Grade 9 trumpet student, who performed "The Last Post" at the Assembly commendably well.
On Nov. 26, the Leaside Band performed along with a variety of singers, actors and dancers in Leaside's Variety Showcase. This event demonstrates the breadth of talent of our student body, and the Leaside Band brought the house down with their rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody".
2. Fall Fundraising - QSP Gifts and Magazines
We have wrapped (ha, ha) up our gift wrap and magazine sale for the year. We will have a total number of the funds we raised shortly.
3. Fall Fundraising - Entertainment Books
Last year we were very successful with our sale of Entertainment Books, raising over $700 for Leaside Music, which directly supported us bringing in expert band clinicians to work with our students. This year we hope to do the same. Students have been given a sample book and an envelope to collect orders and funds. If they sell 5 books, they get to keep the sample book (translation: YOU get the coupons!). If students sell 3 books they get a $5 Tim Hortons card and if they sell 10 books, they get the Tim's card, the free book, and 2 movie tickets! We hope you will support this initiative and spread the word to your friends and families - we can order books for other cities, so please let us know if you are interested in that. Think of this as a great gift opportunity! We still have MANY book available.
