After a full school year of not being able to get together, this year has been a year of getting the Band Program re-started at West K. It has been so rewarding to finally be getting together again to make music, and to present music, LIVE and IN-PERSON! Many of our activities and presentations of learning throughout the 2021 – 2022 school year are each presented as their own blog post on the date when they occurred, which include:

The Grade 10 Band going to EP on Period A Day in Semester 1

A trip to the Seven Oaks Performing Arts Center to enjoy a LIVE, IN-PERSON performance of the Royal Canadian Air Force Band
