While the class of 2020 may not get the same sort of fanfare as they move on to the next chapter in their lives, the band department at RD Parker Collegiate still want to do something special for the grads.

Kevin Lewis, a band director at the high school, says there will be a performance of O Canada and Pomp and Circumstance, which will be performed by a combined band of grade 9-12 students, community band members, and some RD Parker alumni.

Lewis explains that the performance will follow physical distancing measures.

Depending on the weather and what protocols are in place, Lewis says the aim is to have the performance on the evening of June 26th on the front Lawn of RD Parker, the day the convocation would have been held.
