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! My sincere Thanks to Cheryl Bowes, Lori Robson, Tracy Gudgeon, Deanna Braga and the Spectrum Music Parents Executive for coordinating a seamless, trouble-free event. I am truly grateful! With only a month left of school, we have a lot of performance opportunities on the horizon as marked on the Calendars sent home: Saturday, November 26th, 4:45pm - 40th Annual Peninsula Co-op Santa Parade This is one of our favourite parades where everyone in the music program bands together with decorated instruments and bring on the holidays with cheer.
