Eagle River Secondary’s band program students show off their musicial prowess during their Winter Concert held Wednesday, Dec. 13. Under the direction of band teacher John Pickup, the Grade 7/8 band set included an energetic set of modern songs, deliberately avoiding Christmas music. The jazz band made up for it with a mix of Christmas tunes and other familiar numbers. Photos include: Grade 7/8 band trombonists Triton Diakowand Aija Davies play along to Funky Town; flutist Alexis Whiting plays along to a Lady Gaga number with the Grade 7/8 band; and jazz band saxophonists Nash Rutherford, Eden Wiebe, Katherine O’Neil and Raegen Starkell help serve up a swinging Frosty the Snowman.
