G. C. Huston Public School’s music teacher, Kim Lake, was delighted to receive a recent donation from the Southampton Concert Band.
John Wills, Concert Band music director, presented $500 for the school’s music program. “The Concert Band is privileged to be able to use the school facility in Southampton as a practice venue. Therefore, we wanted to help out the up-and-coming young musicians in the program as there is always a need when it comes to instruments, etc.”
Lake said that the donation is much appreciated. “We need new drum sticks, a new flute and other things, so the money is certainly welcomed.”
According to Wills, the Concert Band has a busy musical season with several concerts planned.
Here is the performance list with dates, times and locations:
June 14 – Walkerton High School, joint public concert 730-830pm
Sept. 4 – Southampton Fairy Lake Summer Concert Series, 7-830pm
