Downtown Oshawa 576-7152 Elliott Tremeer's yearly un- dertakings as Music Head. He is the only full time music teacher at B.H.S. and thus supervises the musical ed- ucation of 150 students. He conducts a senior concert band (60 players from years 3 to 5 with a few promising year 2 students included), a junior band (50 players from years 1 and 2) as well as a 16 piece stage band. The aim of the school music program at B.H.S. is to produce discriminating music consumers rather than pro- fessional musicians. Mr. Tremeer often plays recordings of several profes- sional interpretations of a piece of music before his group starts working on it. In this way, the student music- ians come to appreciate sub- tleties of approach and can go on from there to master their own rendition. No attempt is made to slavishly follow a masterful rendering of a piece of music. Sometimes, students are given pieces to work on whiclh they will never perform pub- licly. Often these pieces have something significant to teach the students about a partic- ular musical style or a composer even though they may not be at all well suited to a rendering by a school concert band. Mr. Tremeer feels that students appreciate this scholarly approach. "Sometimes, music is so obviously arranged for high school bands that it is embar- rassing,' claims Mr. Trem- eer. Even though the music curriculum is not geared to the production of professional musicians, Mr. Tremeer points out that this is an excellent time to be young musician in Canada. Hecause of the CRTC's Canadian content rulings, great career opportunities exist for studio musicians and also serious classical musicians. Canadian record companies are now prosperous enough to atorà to eut a few recordings of serious music each year. After the Brigadoon produc- tion the concert band will begin workton their contri- bution to the Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade slated for Nov. 23rd. Although not really a marching band, theywil spend some time going through their paces in order to make a cereditable showinjg at the parade. They will play in the Canada-wide Kiwanis Fest- ival in Toronto in February and follow that up with an appearance at the Kiwanis regional festival in Oshawa in April. Several additional evening concerts will be given throughout the year in the school auditorium. Mr. Tremeer is almost secretive about his big dream for this year's music program. Every year, Disney World in Florida .and Disneyland in California sponsor a music program where school bands from all over the continent play for a one week engage- ment at one of these elite playgrounds. The B.H.S. con- cert band is presently making an audition tape for this pro gram. T he participating schools must pay for their own return transportation. Consequently, even if the B.H.S. band is selected to appear they would . .:.:::..... .. ..~ E As .......9 3/4 EVERY YEAR FOR 9VEAF RS . ..... ............ .. .....

A third set of architec- At present, the tural plans have beensubmit- ted to the Finance Committee and are now being scrutinized by Building Inspector, Charlie Warren and his department* "If this falls through, I don't think we will try anymore, claims Mr. Berme Heming of the Tyrone Community Hall Association, a 10 member volunteer committee. As he sees it, the council just isn't interested in taking any risks for little Tyrone, a community of 1,200. Mr. Heming feels that if there were a councillor from Tyrone who would champion their cause there would be no problem m getting the hall constructed. The latest plan is the "gift (the legal status is a bit unclear) of Arthur Latchman 79, a retired Stouffville de- veloper who nas built five identical community halls in the Uxbridge area. Attempts were made to int.erest Mr. Lafchiman in unricewr itiîhgth whole project, (ie was the benefactor for the Port Perry hall) but Tyrone was deemed too far away from Uxbridge to qualify for Mr. Latefiman's generosity.

Considering that last year a considerable sum was raised for the Maritime tour this may not present too large an obstacle. The big hurdle lies in getting selected. The selection pro- cess is time consuming and this year's band may be already a little late; however, Mr. Tremeer has great hopes for next year. Another pet project of the music department is a new course entitled "Spirit of An Age". This would be an interdisciplinary subject which would draw on the resources of the English, History, Art, Science and Music departments. The "age" chosen is the lifetime of Beethoven (1770-1827), a per- iod that encompasses the French Revolution, the begin- nings of the Industrial Revo lution, the "Age of Reason", great world exploration, scientific advancement and Blake and the English Ro- mantic poets. It is hoped that this course will get underway next year. Asked to define the relation- ship between what is happen- ing on the pop music scene and what is happening in his classroom, Mr. Tremeer ex- plains that although the gap between art music and po music is narrowing, kids stil need their horizons stretched a little. He explains that pop music is now picking up atonal techniques and influences that have been apparent in art music for the past 60 years. Mr. Tremeer has several suggestions to improve the quality of musical life in Bowmanville. First of all, he would like to see some system inaugurated that would allow graduating students to buy the instruments they have played flirougli high school at a reduced rate. This would give former students an incentive to continue their music as a leisure time activity. The formation of accommunify band would give these same people an opportunity to play. Another suggestion is that a Concert Association be form- ed to sponsor local concerts by professional musicians. Mr. Tremeer laments the fact that few of his students ever get the opportunity to hear live per formances of serious music. One gets the impression that music at B.H.S. is a serious joyful pursuit - with a special appeal to the energetic stu- dents who can keep up with their band leader. hall would to build. But reak havoc Tyrone hall Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bo board have about $50,000 in cash. Another $10,000 is avail- able as a government grant. The proceeds of the sale of the present community hall would probably jack their available money up to the $70,000 range. The town council, who would act as agents for the hall board in the project, is willing to lend additional money to the community but as Coun. Don Allin points out it must be paid back by the end of the present council's term (Dec. 1976). Coun. Allin feels that council must approach this matter cautiously as they do not want to appear to favor one community over the others in the municipality. A couple of ironies are apparent in the situation. Mr. Heming claims that three years ago Darlington council refused the plan for a $45,000 Tyrone community hall be- cause the hall board had arranged to finance $15,000 of the money by a bank loan, personally guaranteed by the hall board members. "They (Darlington council) decided a non-profit organization like a community hall could not pay back a loan out of their profits," Mr. Heming states. There seems to be no objection to a loan now; in fact, the hall board has recently turned down a request for personal guarantees. Coun. Allin regrets the frustration the hall board has experienced. Council is at- tempting to put the project on a business-like footing. The other irony that must hurt a little is the fact that building costs have skyro- cketed so much in the last few years that the community will now probably have to pay double the original estimate of $45,000 for a community hall.
