Happy Tuesday folks,
I was at the Two Rivers Instructors meeting last night. Not everyone made it but there was still more talent and experience at the table than at a Jonas Brothers rehearsal.
Some great ideas coming forward as we are putting a competition band forward this season. Lots of positive energy coming from the excited instructors.
The big news is that Wes Sheppard (P/M Grade 2) will be stepping up from part time instructor to running this band. Wes' years of band experience and great ability to bring the best out of kids will be reflected immediately in the calibre of our young members.
Returning instructors Ian Walker (Snare), Kyla Walker (Pipes), Heather Wiens (Pipes), Brian Hoel (Snare), and new mid-section instructor Gina Marsh round out the staff, with yours truly and Gale Walker helping out on the admin side.
I'm really looking forward to this band. The first time the kids all played together last season really brought a ton of work and effort home for all involved, it was a real moment and the first time I have ever seen a new band formed.
Stay tuned for more great things as the band will be scheduled to play the annual concert in January with the grade 2 and grade 3 bands.
First rehearsal for Two Rivers will be Monday September 12, 2011 at General Byng school. Anyone with children interested in learning from these wonderful instructors please feel free to contact me at (204) 391 - 5057 or my email sean@saspb.com.
Cheers,
Sean
