Great way to end a long week. Thank you to Mrs. Lord for organizing this amazing trip to the NAC in Ottawa tonight. For the students, it is their first time attending a live professional orchestra. Happy to have Mr. Johnston join us too.

On March 31st 2015, the Senior Band went to London, England and made lifelong memories of touring the city and performing at Cadogan Hall.
Today, exactly 7 years later, the Junior Band played it's first live concert in over 2 years.
Memories are made again.
