Congratulations to the grade 9 band on winning the award for the Most Promising Middle School Band at the New Glasgow Music Festival awards presentation yesterday! The band’s performance was outstanding, and they deserved this recognition from the adjudicator. The award comes with a $100 cheque which we will use to support extra-curricular band activities.

Thank you to Ewan Campbell for representing East Wiltshire at the Holland College Community Band concert on April 30th. One student was chosen to perform in the concert from each of the six Island schools participating in the Band for Life program this year. Our Band for Life volunteer, John MacDonald, plays in the Holland College Community band, and he has been attending grade 7 and grade 9 early morning band rehearsals this year. We greatly appreciate the support and encouragement that he provides to our band members!
