He's in two school bands, the concert and the jazz. He's now on the solo bench of the corps band and still on the solo bench of the divisional youth band. He's also been invited to play in the Halton Senior Jazz band. He was in the Halton Junior Jazz band, which is the audition band, but then when they reached the high school level, there was nothing that allowed the advanced studends to be challenged. The director from the HJJB decided to try and start a senior one up and Spencer was invted to play in that. It will be privately run this year in hopes that the school board will pick it up for next year.<BR/><BR/>So he has a very busy music schedule this year ... including his new piano teacher!<BR/><BR/>Matt is happy just to take music at school and play in the corps band.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680174673288007269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23833605.post-44844411826569042162007-10-03T17:55:00.000-04:002007-10-03T17:55:00.000-04:00The music programme is incredibly sophisticated wh...The music programme is incredibly sophisticated when compared to most other programmes that I am aware of here in Canada. Is there a link, a cultural link to American society at least in your area?Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440657052901467269noreply@blogger.com
