Welcome to the 2021/22 School Year!
We're looking forward to seeing and catching up with our returning students, as well as meeting and get to know our new ensemble members. The primary means of communication for supporting students in class learning will be through a combination of this site, MusicFirst (a subscription based, online music software suite), TEAMS, and email. Students should check all of them regularly, and/or ensure they have their device(s)notifications turned on. We use this website as a conduit for a lot of general information, as well as a central directory to useful/needed links for individual courses. It will serve you well to bookmark this site, as you will find yourself returning to it frequently.
For the start of classes, you will not need instruments for the first day. While you may not have been playing/singing every day (or maybe you have?), please make a point of doing some playing & preparation prior to our first ensemble classes to make sure you're able to help both yourself, and the ensemble, start off on the right foot. Intermediate & Senior Instrumental class should plan on playing the second class back; Juniors will be announced in class -either Mon. or Wed. of week 2.
We look forward to seeing everyone,
Mr. Angell & Mr. Fawkes

Masks & bags for instrumental players
These are required for all wind players. While you may find some for purchase, making your own will likely be most expedient. You can try here: info/patterns on how to make your own (does not include for flute, but the clarinet/oboe version is easily adaptable). There are 2 versions of face masks listed, the 2nd one is more comfortable and allows for a better fit . For flautists, here's a step by step video. BCMEA Provincial Honour Groups Auditions & selections for the annual Provincal Honour groups occur in April for the follow school year's ensembles, which meet & perform at the BCMEA Concerts at the Oct. Pro D weekend. There are many of you that should strongly consider auditioning. If this interests you, you can begin preparing with the 2020 Honour Group audition materials |
