Fundraiser at Eggplant!
What a party! The recording studio Eggplant recently held a fundraising event for our benefit in their downstairs restaurant. Between firespinners, The Salads, and of course, our own students playing at the event, a great time was to be had!
The MC's of the evening, Tanya Kim and Robin Black, created a fantastic, festive atmosphere as they mingled with the crowd and introduced the guest performances. Tom Kennedy, the Chairman of the RPSM's board of Directors, presented our school as well by addressing the gathered people and explaining who we were and what we are trying to do here at the school.
The performances by the children themselves however were what won the crowd over as the kids played to the moment and won peoples hearts. An impression was definitely made as they held the audience's rapt attention.
Our String Quartet had a busy day, as they had performed for the Safe Kids Week 10th Aniversary Celebration just hours before coming here. Paul, Linda, Cecelia, and Cecelia did a fantastic job!

Former student and current Board Member at the RPSM, Thompson Thompson Egbo Egbo treated the attendees to some of his Jazz variations and improvisations.
The Salads, rocking out with the crowd.
The night was filled with musical guests and performers working together to put on a show for the RPSM. And what a night! We here at the RPSM would like to thank Eggplant and the event coordinators from LucidCommunications for the wonderful evening for the school, all the donors who have contributed to the school from the event, and of course all the celebraties who lent themselves for a good time and a good cause! Thank you!

Showcase 2006
The Regent Park School of Music held it's annual Showcase fundraisor recently and it was a resounding success! Everyone who participated had a great time and this year the kids really showed off what they could do. The very first apearance by the Regent Park School of Music Orchestra was highlighted by the unveiling of our new school song, which the Orchestra played while the Choir sang! The school has definately grown from its humble origins in a Church Basement, and we are now seeing some of our students graduating and leaving us once again. We have some pictures of the event to share with you! We hope to see you back next year!
