The New Westminster Secondary School music program is hoping the community will come out this weekend and show its support for the program during its ninth annual Band-athon.
Every year the high school’s band and choir students team up to put on a free four-hour-long show to raise money for the music program.
This year’s event is happening Saturday, Nov. 3 from noon to 4 p.m. at Royal City Centre, 610 Sixth St.
Folks can expect to hear a mix of musical genres, including classical, contemporary, jazz and pop. The kids will be singing and playing for the duration of the event, so stop by and donate a buck or two or 20.
“This is more than just a fundraiser, it’s an opportunity for the students to raise some much-needed funding for both their band trips and the music program. The NWSS music department is dedicating this day to just that effort,” notes a press release.
Can’t make it in person to the event? You can donate online at www.nwssmusic.com and click on the Pay-pal link to donate to the program.
