Congratulations to our MS Band Slam finalists! What a great showcase of talented musicians in our Middle School division. With a return to on-campus practical music-making, the popular event “Band Slam” was re-established as a mainstay in the senior cohort’s musical experience. Students were solely responsible for forming bands with their peers, gathering resources, and independently learning to play their chosen song as a collective team effort.

Today, every Middle School student voted for their favourite band in a series of videos exhibited as part of a division-wide event. When considering the reduced lesson time and access to music-making that has been a challenging component of this year, Mr. Kilvington-Shaw could not be prouder of all the senior cohort’s musical journey through this process.

They have done remarkably well, as the work exhibited here shows. We hope you enjoy the music as much as we have.
