St. Anne's band is golden at nationals
The St. Anne's concert
band, under the direction of
Mr. Josh Geddis, competed
at Music Fest Nationals on
Wednesday, May 13 at the
University of Toronto Faculty
of music and received a gold
standing. This is the first gold
standing that the band has
ever been awarded at the
national level.
In order to attend this fes-
tival, bands must qualify
with a high standing at a
regional competition.
The 56 members of the St.
Anne's C.S.S. concert band
performed three extremely
difficult pieces in the
national B300 class and
received fantastic feedback
from their adjudication
panel. The judges specifi-
cally enjoyed the piece
Songs of Karegnondi, which
was commissioned by and
composed specifically for
the St. Anne's Catholic Sec-
ondary School concert
band. This piece explores
themes regarding the Great
Storm of 1913.
After playing three pieces
on stage at the university,
the band went into an
intense one hour adjudica-

band members to sight read
a piece they had never
played before. They worked
with Dr. Leah McGray who
was their adjudicating clini-
cian. Dr. McGray is the
