The Stay Camp for Junior and Intermediate Bands has been cancelled for Oct 3 due to scheduling conflicts with some students and the new opportunity of masterclasses with the Vancouver Academy of Music. The Vancouver Academy of Music has helped sponsor a series of masterclasses to take place at Lord Byng from October to the end of January. Each week, the Band Department will celebrate the different instruments of the band by choosing one instrument to feature. Next week will be the oboe.

I believe this partnership will be a great alternative for us and that we may find a date in the future that would have less scheduling issues for many of the students. Thanks for your understanding and let’s start celebrating the instruments of the band!
