Some Halloween favourites joined other popular tunes as the North Star High School band entertained the public last week.
The band performed before a large crowd in the public high school’s cafeteria last Wednesday night. Music teacher Randy Lefrancois indicated he is pleased with this year’s group of musicians.
“Mr. Lefrancois is proud of the band,” he emphasized.
The North Star band used the concert as a fundraiser towards its band trip. This year, the goal is to go to Cleveland.
The band made a stop at one of their feeder schools – Amherstburg Public School – the day before as a dress rehearsal for their show Wednesday night.
The North Star culinary program was a partner in the evening’s events, as they cooked the meal that those in attendance ate before the music started.
Parents helped provide the desserts and also assisted in gaining prizes for the raffle table.
Two students – Kendra MacKinnon and Makayla Laing – performed solo singing numbers as did former student and current Musicland owner Bethany D’Alimonte. Alex Greason performed on the guitar.
Lefrancois said they spent two months preparing for the show. He added there are 31 students in the band this year, ranging from Grade 9-12.
“I love my band,” he said. “Mr. Lefrancois loves his band.”
