Good evening Music Families! Thank you all for attending our first concert of the year. We hope you enjoyed the first of our mini-concert series. For many students, this was their first opportunity to perform in such a professional setting and I was very happy with their work. We appreciated a full house and look forward to sharing more nights of music! Congratulations to all who contributed to the 4th Annual Christmas Market. It was a smashing success with almost 2000 people viewing 82 Vendors over the weekend. Our Spectrum music students and family members received a lot of praise from our patrons and every vendor wishes to return for next year. Our Bake Sale was a HIT, thank you to all the families who spent time baking well into the night. We made just over $1300, a Spectrum Music RECORD!

Parker Jolliffe Good Morning Spectrum Music Families,
It is great to be back in the swing of things in the Spectrum Music Department! I have enjoyed meeting our new students and re-connecting with those moving up in grade. Our ensembles (Concert Bands, Jazz Bands and Choir) have been hard at work in rehearsals, building set lists for future concerts. We look forward to sharing our music with you over the next few months. All concerts are ticketed through Eventbrite, with an email link (typically) being released 16 days prior to the event. We offer rush seating, first come first served. Congratulations to members of the Spectrum Drumline who lead this year's riders of the Tour de Rock Cops for Cancer into our gym. This is a time-honoured tradition, one that has been missing over the last 4 years. They provided energy for the cyclists as well as our student body and was appreciated by staff and students alike. BRAVO! A huge THANK YOU to Christine, Tarrie and Allison for their time and energy helping with Uniforms this year. It is a massive undertaking and my appreciation cannot be understated (Thank you thank you thank you!!!). I appreciate your help in making sure our students look as good as they sound! Heads up!
