GSMS Bands Beat to a New Drum!

The GSMS band program recently received generous contributions from our own George Street SRC, as well as from the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival, which awarded us a one-time grant of $3,500. The band room now features a new drum set with all the bells and whistles ... not to mention orchestra bells, triangles, cymbals, etc. And more instrument purchases and repairs are on their way! Support like this, both at the school and the community level, contributes enormously to the stability of a band program like ours, enabling us to invest in new projects such as the GSMS Jazz Band. Thanks to all concerned!
