Several BHS students were selected to be part of the 2024 New Brunswick Honour Band. This event took place on October 19th, at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. The Honour Band brought together high school musicians from across the Maritimes for a day of practice and learning, guided by talented conductors and professors from Mount Allison University. Afterwards, they performed a public concert together.
“It was a really fun experience! It was really inspiring to see such young people spend a whole Saturday playing music.” flutist Marta Duque said. “This activity has been one of the first contacts I had with music bands, and it really pushed me to continue this hobby,” she added.
While at Mount Allison University, these BHS students got the amazing chance to tour the university’s campus, and were guided around the dorms, the green spaces, the auditoriums, and the school multi-religious chapel. They then had lunch at the all-you-can-eat cafeteria, which was a great opportunity for potential Mt. A students to see what there was to offer.
Congratulations to Marta Duque, Tino Gwese, Heidi Lewis, Menna Rizk, Julia Tergau, Shekinah Tshibangu, and Anna deVries for being a part of this amazing experience.
