The EWS Grade 9 Band has been asked to perform again this year at the Royal Canadian  Legion Remembrance Day Service which is being held this year on Tuesday, November 11th at the cenotaph in Hartsville, PEI (Google Map directions to follow). Having our young people perform at this service is a longstanding tradition in our community.

If your child is going to be away, and is unable to attend, please let me know as soon as possible.

We will be loading band equipment (music stands and percussion instruments) at East Wiltshire at 9:15 am on Tuesday, November 11th, and Mr. Cusack and I would really appreciate it if the grade 9 percussion students, as well as 5-10 more parents and/or students, could meet at the school to assist us. We will also need volunteers to help unload the truck at East Wiltshire after the ceremony.

Students have been asked by the Legion organizers to arrive at the Hartsville Cenotaph no later than 10:00 a.m. 

Band uniforms must be worn for this formal ceremony. Students should also dress for the weather, and should bring mittens or gloves to keep their hands warm between songs. I will provide clothespins to keep music from blowing off the stands.

Thank you for your commitment to participating in this important community event.
