This way, the decorations are going to be amazing.” Grads are preparing for their special night slowly but steadily, in a calm fashion unseen in previous years. Welmoed Wessels, a twelfth-grade exchange student from Holland, doesn’t have her prom dress yet… where she comes from, high school graduation is celebrated in a much more relaxed manner, instead of the prom night North American students are so used to. “You wait around all day for the phone to ring to be told if you’ve graduated. You would get sweaty just waiting for the news. If you’ve successfully graduated, you hang the flag [of Holland] on your house and go eat cake and drink beer.” On the other hand, student Mark Dennis—who is planning rfTT members with their coach, mrs. natasha leblanc to attend prom with Wessels as friends—has his prom attire already, but he only has one problem: “I have so many ties, I by meagan beale don’t know which one I’m going to wear,” he said. ernice MacNaughton High School’s Reach for the As prom looms on the horizon, students are also finding Top teams dominated at their recent provincial creative ways to advertise themselves as potential prom tournament in Oromocto, marking their fifth dates.

These practices have evidently paid off in terms of success and team spirit. “I think we have made ourselves a formidable opponent,” says 2nd year Reach member, Nathanael Telman, “with more level and organized teams that work as one.” Given their recent record of success, the future of BMHS’ Reach for the Top team is looking bright. The intermediate team has placed first in all but one tournament, and the Senior team loses to a KVHS by a smaller margin each time, giving the team renewed hope for a gold medal in their near future.

  • Older Entertainers Making Music in the Community in Melbourne, Australia
    australiaa n societ s y for mumsic education e ‘The show must go on’: i ncorporated older entertainers making music in the community in Melbourne, Australia Dawn Joseph Deakin University Jane Southcott Monash University Abstract Globally countries are faced with an aging population and Australia is no different. This creates challenges for the maintenance of well-being which can be enhanced by active engagement in society. There is extensive research that confirms that engagement in music by older people is positively related to individual and community well- being. Music engagement encompasses a range of social participation and has the potential to recognise the contribution of older people to their local communities. Music participation can contribute to a better quality of life, particularly in relation to health and happiness. There are many possible forms of music engagement. This study is part of an on-going Deakin University and Monash University research project, Well-being and ageing: community, diversity and the arts in Victoria. This article focuses on three members of a mixed voluntary singing group formed by older residents of an outer suburban community in Melbourne, Australia. This group, The Skylarkers, were established in 1999 as a four-part choir. Over the years the nature of the choir has changed under subsequent music directors. Since 2009 the group has focused on music theatre repertoire and performance style. Membership of the group is fluid reflecting changing life circumstances of the members but the ensemble is resilient. This small amateur music theatre group is based in suburban Melbourne, rehearses weekly and performs regularly at retirement villages, nursing homes and facilities for senior citizens.

  • The War on Score: Ontarian Women's
    The War on Score: Ontarian Women’s Songs during The Great War Karina Stellato March 29, 2019 HMU499 Professor T. Neufeldt In response to Lord Kitchener’s famous 1915 recruitment poster, Muriel E. Bruce, a twenty-two-year-old Torontonian composed what would become the anthem of local recruitment leagues for the duration of the Great War: Kitchener’s Question.1 “Why aren’t you in Khaki? / This means you! / Any old excuse won’t do,”2 flooded the streets during recruitment marches with the intention of inspiring the enlistment of Britain’s sons.3 The success of Muriel Bruce’s collection of songs grants her the honour of common historiographical representation as the token women when discussing entertainment on the Canadian home front. Less commonly remembered are the multitude of amateur and professional female Canadian composers who contributed to creating the flourishing musical climate in Toronto and the neighbouring regions of Anglo-Ontario during the war period. “Doing one’s bit” in the war effort did not only pertain to enlisted men, rather it was the vital motive behind the composition of the vast library of popular music published by women throughout the war. Studying the overlooked genre of commercially popular music by women in Ontario between 1914-1918 provides insight into common contemporary attitudes; where content, audience and social meaning can be analyzed through lyrics and cover art.4 Songs composed and sung by women on the home front acted as propaganda in the pursuit of two objectives: increased recruitment and the cultivation of general approval for the war.

    July 2013 The Real DIRT A monthly newsletter to keep you informed. Calgary Hit by Historic Flood On Friday June 21, 2013 the province of Alberta was hit by a "one hundred year" flood severely impacting the cities of High River, Calgary, Canmore, Medicine Hat, Okotoks, Turner Valley, Black Diamond and many other rural areas. Some information from the flood: 3: the number of times greater the peak levels of the Bow and Elbow Rivers were compared to 2005 when floods caused $275 million in damage 4: the number of Albertans who lost their lives due to the floods 10: the number of rows of the Saddledome submerged by flood waters 12: the number of prisoners who required relocating as a result of rising water 1,700: the number of cubic meters per second flowing in the Bow River in Calgary - the city's highest recorded flow since 1897 100,000: the number of Calgarians who were under a mandatory evacuation order Alberta One-Call is located within a few kilometres of Calgary's downtown core - an area heavily affected by the flood. In an emergency situation like this, the safety of our staff members and their families was our top priority and since numerous roads and bridges were closed, the decision was made to close our office to allow them to get home safely. When we did so, we failed-over to our work-at-home staff and focused operations on emergency locate requests. On the following Monday, a few days after the flood, all Calgarians were urged to limit road and transit use.
