Senior Wind Ensemble

All Senior Wind Ensemble students are to participate at least once in a solo/duet/small ensemble performance at the Highwood Lions Music Festival.
For students who have never done this before (namely Grade 10s), parents need to create a Parent Profile on their registration site.  If you created a profile in previous years, you do not need to do this again.
Once your profiles are created, students will be able to create theirs and register their selections for festival.  Notre Dame Collegiate will cover the registration fees.
​Thank you in advance for helping out with this.

All Students - Optional

All students are welcome to perform a solo, duet, trio or small ensemble selection for the Highwood Lions Music Festival.  Parents will be contacted if a student makes such a request, and asked to create a Parent Profile on their registration site.  Please encourage your students to try out this unique performing opportunity!

Grade 7 Drumheller and Airdrie Trip

The schedule and activities for the Grade 7 Airdrie/Drumheller trip are still as of yet unconfirmed, as they are largely dependent upon the schedule the Airdrie Rotary Festival of the Performing Arts sets, as well as any conflicts that may occur with the High River festival.  Please watch for finalized details on this trip at the beginning of February.

I can confirm that the Junior Band Camp is only for Grade 8 and 9, and that the Grade 7s are only doing the Airdrie/Drumheller Trip (details for which are yet to be announced).
