Choir Four carol services? Yes, it has come to this and it looks as though it will stay this way while the school numbers remain high. The theme this year was Canadian Christmas . Solos were sung by C. Zahovksis, J. Manning and P. Stalder. Once again, Oakville Cable 10 televised selections of the ser- vice on Christmas Eve. The choir sang a Choral Even- song at Hamilton Cathedral on Jan. 25th. The weather was ap- palling, and because of this the congregation was poor but we sang well with the Magnificat and Jubilate Deo of Mr. Royse and the anthem Lead me Lord by Wesley with solos by T. Shaw and P. Stalder, We then sang a short recital of anthems which in- cluded Jesu, Joy of Man ' s desiring by Bach, settings of Ave Verum by Mozart and Elgar, Venite by D. Swann and Amazing Grace arranged by Mr. Royse. Besides the above pieces, an- thems sung this year have been: Enrich us with thy goodness - Bach Bitter was the night and Friday morning - Carter This joyful Eastertide - Wood Come ye Servants of the Lord -Tye Give us the wings of faith - Bullock Greater Love hath no Man - Ireland Stanford in B Flat, Evening Ser- vice with the Whole School taking part. The chapel also had a visit from the Kingsway Symphonic Choir who showed us what real singing is. TREBLES D. Copestick N. McConnell P. McQuhae A. Krempulec P. Rolin G. Marshall M. Duncan M. Wilson K.

Music Once again our number of music students has risen, to a now exalted number of 112. This is due to an excellent staff, in- cluding, Mr. Bridgewater, Wood- winds, Brass and Percussion; Mr. Mallin, Guitar; Mr. Seaborn, Woodwinds; Mr. Ford, Brass; Mr. Birkett, Mrs. Isherwood, Mrs. Badame and Mrs. McConnell, Piano; Miss Schroeder, Violin; and Mr. Brown, Cello; all of whom deserve our thanks. One can imagine the problems of slight overcrowding that arises with only eight rooms to schedule teaching and prac- tising in, but we can say we have survived. Notably this year is the start of the Concert Band under the direction of Mr. Bridgewater. It made its first appearance on Saturday, May 29th in Chapel where they performed a couple of marches, two pieces by MacDowell and accompanied the school singing three hymns. A fine start! We attended a concert in Hamilton Place given by the Burlington Teen Tour Band directed by Mr. Ford. This was the first time some of us had heard a full 85 piece marching band in concert and we were all duly impressed - particularly as most of the players were the same age as our students. A.R.
