separate room for some last minute touch ups on their songs and soon everything was set The Centennial crown was quite attentive and they seemed to have enjoyed the performance that the students put on for them The Wind Ensemble started the performance they played two songs Following them came a flute trio then the Youth Band which consists of Grade nine students Then the stage band performed two songs along with the Jazz Choir And in conclusion the Wind Ensemble performed Winter Games For their first show the students have performed reasonably well There were a few mistakes at one point but the audience did not seem to notice As for the rest of the show everyone performed exceptional ly well and Centennial enjoyed the performance Later on after the concert was over two students Michelle DeBraux and SarahLynn Ray gave the students a short speech regarding the music department They encouraged the younger students to enroll in the music courses offered at the school and they would welcome any body who would be interested in join ing any of the bands that per formed for them Then it was off to Stewarttown and again students set up their equipment and took their places to perform
