20) PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, June 5th, 1974 'Summer Breezes'blow at High School by Jay S. Madsen Four hundred years ago beside the quietly flowing waters of England's Avon River, William Shakespeare, "the immortal bard," penned the words; "If music be the food of love, play on," "(from "Twelfth Night'). 1 am certain that the esti- mated audience of over 300 at Port Perry High School's annual "Summer Breeze" music night last Wednesday evening, were sorry when the superlative performance ended. During his short welcome speech, the High School's new Principal, Mr. Douglas Williams, expressed his MIDDLETON'S QUEEN ST. - PORT PERRY - 985-2562 strong belief that, while the acquisition of academic, technical, and physical skills form the "'body politic" of a school, music should be its soul. This laudable solicitude for man's "'uniyersal langu- age" has certainly been evidenced by the assistance given, both by Mr. Williams and the Durham Regional Board of Education, to the guiding light of Port Perry High . School's music programme, Mr. Russell Baird. As a former member of the P.P.H.S. band, I am gratified to see that the seed carefully planted several years ago by the previous music teacher, Mr. Peter ask about our HOME FOOD-FREEZER PLAN f a plan to fit everyones budget Chellew, has flowered so beautifully under Mr. Baird's watchful eye. The entertainment itself was quite varied in scope, ranging from classical pieces played by the concert band, to much more contem- porary presentations. The organizers of the programme are to be highly commended for compiling a repertoire pleasing to young and old alike. The spirit of their intention in this regard was probably best represen- ted by the playing of selections from the rock religious musical '"'Gods- pell.""

Nor were humour and nostalgia neglected. the audience thoroughly enjoyed the very funny presentation of "Monster Mash," and the medley of other popular tunes from the 50's. Among the other high- lights of the evening, were; the lighting effects (especi- ally during the playing of the theme from 2001"), the superb performance of the woodwinds and percussion sections of the Training Band during the Marches, and the impressive rendition 'of "Castles in Spain' by the R.H. Cornish Band. The public ~~ school students played extremely well, part- icularly when one considers the short length of time they have been studying their instruments. However, the climax of the whole night was the beautiful and sen- setive piano solo '"'Rachman- inoff Prelude in 'C' played by Miss Bev. Simmonds, and for which Miss Simmonds received a well-deserved standing ovation. The temendous effort which the students put into the "Summer Breeze' seems to suggest that perhaps those who are concerned about today's youth needn't be quite so worried. Certainly the parents of the young performers (especially the seven grade 13 students who were awarded the Music Medals) can be very proud of their sons and daughters. presentation of - | Nursing Home News | We had the tuesday even- ing service by the Baptist Church.
