Young musicians host a telethon to raise funds
The Caledonia Secondary and Skeena Middle School bands have been raising money for months now, and their most recent was the 27th Annual School Band Telethon.
“All of the funds donated during the event go directly to our band programs,” said Katia Georgeson, the band teacher at Skeena Middle School. “These funds are then used to purchase new equipment, new music, and give students the chance to experience things like the professional workshops, band trips, concerts and more.”
This year is the 51st national competition of MusicFest, and will run from May 15 to 20. Initially founded in 1972 as the Canadian Stage Band Festival, the event was a force in the development of the stage band and jazz big band programs in high schools and universities.
