Spring News and Events

As the school year winds down, the weather heats up, and so does the schools events!

A number of events are coming up for the students here, and a few benefits for our school should be mentioned as well, thanks again for all your support!

A great big thank you goes to Indiepolitik for the 'Just Schools Out' benefit they held for the school on Thursday, April 20th at The Boat, on 128 Augusta Avenue. Thank you all for your support!

Tonight (April 24th) Mr. Frank Clarke is hosting his 40th birthday party at ¿C'est What? at 8:00pm. He has generously asked anyone attending 'Frankstock' to eschew a gift in favour of a donation to the Regent Park School of Music. There will be a cash bar, finger foods, and live music by Frank and guests. If you can play an instrument, you're invited to bring it along and jam! Thanks Frank! Happy birthday!

Our school choir, led by Wayne Strongman, is once again busy with two performances later this week;

Our exciting new Jane and Finch area project, The Regent Park School of Music Steel Drum Band, is well underway. Led by Taurean Clarke the band has begun to practice with students from the area making up its members. The Toronto Police Department has supported the development of the band, and together we hope to make a positive impact in the troubled area. Rehearsals for the Steel Drum Band are held every Tuesday evening at 6:00pm at 15 San Romano Way. The best of luck to all involved!

And last but not least, the Regent Park School of Music's annual Showcase, is to be held May 24th, at the Joey & Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre. A reception at 6:30pm will be followed by the Gala at 7:00pm. Reserve tickets early as there is limited seating available, and so you don't miss out on our largest event of the year! For more information, or to reserve your tickets, contact the Regent Park School of Music's office between the hours of 9:00am and 8:00pm Monday through Friday, or between 10:00pm and 6:00pm on Saturday. We hope to see you there!

We here at the school would also like to wish every student the best of luck with the end of the school year fast approaching. Good luck on any exams!

Thank you everybody! Have a great time!
