Musical treat at resort
Grand Bend received a real
musical treat Thursday when the
North Lambton Secondary School
Concert Band came to town. the
Senior Concert Band, under the direc-
tion of Tim Hummel, performed to a
packed auditorium at the Grand Bend
Public School gym.
President of the Concert Series
Association, Dawn Crabe, made the
introduction. The band will be travell- •
ing to Expo '86 in late May to perform
there, followed by a concert in Stanley
Park, one at Banff Springs, and a
final performance at the grand Ed-
monton mall.
Several of the band members also
perform in the Forest Excelsior
Band, and Cindy Metcalf, the award-
wigning young pianist from 1 Ist
year's concert series,.played an oboe
in this band.
Dawn Crabe also introduced two
members of the audience, Cathy
O'Donnell and Susan Watson from
"Curtains Rising", a non-profit group
in Forest, who will be bringing a
professional -theatre groupe to pre-
sent a series of three children's
shows, beginning on April 12.
the concert opened with the
"Thundercrest March", great,mar-
ching music with a rousing finish to
open the program with a flourish of
brass.
The second number, "Ballet Pari-
sienne" by Offenbach, provided
music familiar to all who ever played
in a band, a French operatic suite of
four movements. Each movement
featured a different style of music,
from the naughty, gay street sounds
of Parisian cafes, to light opera, to a .
lilting waltz showcasing the wood-
wind section in an impressive perfor-
mance. The suite ends with a piece
nearly as popular as the French na-
tional anthem, "Le Can -Can", im-
mortalizing the French dancing girls.
The next number featured a
trumpet soloist, Andy Ward, playing
a Spanish number, "Come Back to
Sorrento" in an excellent rendition,
showing off the considerable talent of
this young man.
A real treat followed for lovers of
American operetta,,a medley of tunes
from "Music Man". e tunes varied
from the bouncy Wells Fargo
Wagon, to the drea y "Till There
Was You" with the softer woodwinds,
ending with that rousing number "76
Trombones" that makes you feel like
marching right down the street. Great
music, and very well done.
The "Hebrides Suite" was next on
the program, the first movement
"Peat Fire Flame" making one think
of old Ireland, thatched stone cottages
amid tiny green fields. The next,
"Eriskay Love Lilt" is almost a
ballet, pretty, melancholy notes evok-
ing a picture of Irish lassies dancing
on shamrock covered hills. The "Milk

King song" utilizes the wood block to
represent the beat of horse's hooves
on his daily trot down narrow lanes.
Finally, "Road to the Isles" uses the
woodwinds to suggest the skirl of
bagpipes in the distance to end in a
stiffing march with a climax of brass.
This would be perfect for St. Patrick's
Day.
Three grade 13 students, Linda
-Ross, Shawn Matthews, and once
again Andy Ward, then performed a
trumpet trio "Bugler's Holiday", a
classic requiring perfect pitch and
perfect timing„accompanied by the
band - perfect! The next set was a
tribute to the big band era, featuring
Jaime O'Donnell on electric guitar.”
Here's that Rainy Day is a dreamy,
romantic waltz familiar to
sweethearts of the '40s. The jazzy
"One O'Clock Jump" brings back
memories of those bee -bop babies and
zoot suits. "In the Mood" is one of the
most Famous Glen Miller hits, pure
nostalgia, and the "Woodchopper's
Ball" is a jitterbug's dream - fast and
sassy.
Everyone enjoyed "One" from the
recent Broadway musical, "A Chorus
Line", a real delight. '
The finale featured a selection from.
"Jesus Christ, Super Star," that
popular rock musical, with such hits
'as "I Don't Know how to Love Him,"
so passionate, then soaring into the ti-
tle number, a powerful, moving piece
of music. -
There was such thunderous ap-
plause that the band granted the ap-
preciative audience an encore, Suite
in E Flat. There was good ensemble
performance throughout the deman-
ding program, as if these young peo-
ple had been playing together for
longer than four years. Percussionist
Kevin Murray turned in an excep-
tional performance, deserving of
recognition. The NI SS concert hand
certainly left the patrons impressed
and their parents very proud!
The next concert, April 2, is an
ensemble group known as the "Per-
cussionistics". They play a variety of
music including calypso and ragtime,
using a wide range of percussion in-
struments, from zyr `:ones, to bongo
drums.
Following that performance will be
a candlelight reception in the church
basement, to pay special honor to
Jean Claude Picard, the Director
General and Ron Baker, the Ontario
Provincial Chairman, both of Youth
and Music Canada, who will be atten-
ding that night. Quite an occasion -
see you there!

GB ladies among few
to mark Prayer day
About 50 dedicated ladies braved
the storm on Friday afternoon to at-
tend the World Day of Prayer
ecumencial at the Church of God.
Rev. Barnhart commended the
assembly for their bravery In facing
the elements. The ladies from the
Dashwood United Church, however,
were unable to participate, due to
road closures.
This years' service was formulated
by the women of Australia, tracing
their background as a penal colony
and wilderness settlement, and the
role of their women in bringing Chris-
tianty and humanity to their young
country.
Members of the Grand Bend United
Church and the Church of God, all
participated in the service. The
hymns were led by Cecile Barnhart,
Middlesex
picks Long
Gerry Long, a well-known member
of the Ontario agricultural communi-
ty and a director of the Ontario Egg
Producers' Marketing Board since its
inception in 1954, has retired from the
board of directors. He will be replac-
ed by Alex McComb, and egg pro-
ducer from Denfield.
Long, who recently moved from
London to Delaware, owns Wood
Lynn Farms Ltd. in London, an
agricultural production operation en-
compassing a variety of commodities.
His agricultural interests include
eggs, apples, pork, beef, and cash
crops.
Long was a major contributor to the
estabishment and development of the
Ontario Egg Board, as well as the na-
tional supply management system for
eggs, which is administered by the
Canadian Egg Marketing Agency.
As well as serving as Ontario Egg
Board Director for Middlesex Coun-
ty for more than 20 years, Long has
been Chairman of the Canadian Egg
Producers' Council, the organization
which gave rise to the C.E.M.A., and
of the Ontario Poultry Council.
Egg Producers in Middlesex
elected Alex McComb to replace Long
as their representative on February
13.
McCemb•has produced eggs since
1956; he grades his own eggs and sells
them to some '16,000 customers on
three retail routes in the London area.
He also sells beef, which he raises, as
well as pork and lamb.
accompanied by Alan l arverhW on
the organ. Roberta Walker perform-
ed two solos, "Wake Up My People"
and "To Be Alive".
Cecile Barnhart provided the group
with a message from John 3:1-16.
there are two reasons 10 visit Calvary.
First, we see the awfulness of our
sins as reflected in the suffering of
Christ, secondly, to realize that Christ
thought we were worth dying for.
Those who dewll too much on the
awfulness of sin may become
negative- guilty, self-conscious, with
a sense of failure. Those who consider
only their self-worth, for whom Christ
died, are apt to become vain,
egotistical, shallow in love and over-
ly self-sufficient. We need to see both
sides of Calvary in order to have a
true perspective to choose life in its
fulness.
After the service, the ladies ad-
journed to the Church basement for
afternoon tea and a social time. Rev.
Barnhart announced that the collec-
tion was ($70.00) seventy dollars, and
thanked everyone for attending.
