McGill Honour Band Participants
Students of the Rosemount Music Department take part in this year’s McGill Honour Band. The performance took place in the auditorium on the FACE academic campus in downtown Montreal last Friday, January 24, 2025 evening. Oboist Hyerin Jo was featured on two of the pieces as well as a beautiful duet shared with flautist Giacomina Arcuri. There were even a few Rosemount Alumni on hand to enjoy the concert. We’re all very proud of our Rosemount kids. Click the link to see a clip of one of their songs.

Class Act does 1st corporate gig
A Corporate Gig (otherwise known as a wedding band gig or a club date is a typical professional job that musicians do from time to time. Some musicians make a living from them. Class Act did their 1st Club Date this past weekend for a 50th Surprise Birthday private party. Mr. Cooperwood guided them all the way through from scheduling the job to setting up and even making a song setlist of almost 15 songs that band had to play throughout the evening. The band’s schedule has actually filled up with other jobs all the way to the end of this school year. Great job and welcome to the Big Leagues, Class Act!!!
