Central Region Honour Band

March 26 saw over 120 music students from around the region gathered at Carman Collegiate for a day of workshops.  Students gathered in their sectional groups and practiced with band directors from the region.  After being fed supper from our Canteen, the Bands gave an evening performance.  The Grade 7 and 8 Honour Band, directed by Finn Johnson, played three pieces.  This was followed by the Grade 9 to 12 Honour Band playing four pieces.  The Senior Band was directed by Edward Bach who is a professonal trumpet player, and presented the sold out theatre to a trumpet solo.  The sound from two 60 plus member bands was fantastic.
