'It's truly heartwarming': New Horizons adult band teams up with high school band after COVID pandemic creates a shortage of experienced student players
The school’s Concert Band and the Pine Tones — the school’s own rock band — have been touring elementary schools and playing concerts.
In a regular school year, Grade 11 and 12 students would have been able to mentor younger students playing in the band, but COVID put the concert band into a situation where most of its members are beginners. “Many of the members have progressed to the point that they are excellent musicians,” MacLachlan wrote.
“It's truly heartwarming to see seniors playing music with high school kids for audiences full of young kids,” MacLachlan wrote.The show — at the Sault Community Theatre Centre — will include five songs by the White Pines Concert Band and friends, followed by a set of music by the Pine Tones.
